Could not find executable running image_view from rosrun

I've been using image_view to see the contents of image topics for some time, but I encountered a problem and I have no idea what the cause is. Here's what I get when trying to check an image topic:

Command I typed:

rosrun image_view image_view image:=/...(topic)

Terminal output:

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named image_view below /opt/ros/hydro/share/image_view

[rosrun] Found the following, but they're either not files, or not executable:

[rosrun] /opt/ros/hydro/share/image_view

It shouldn't be a source problem. Many other programs can run normaly.

I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

If you installed it using Debian try deleting it and reinstalling it, maybe it will be the fastest way to solve your problem.

sudo apt-get remove ros-hydro-image-view

and then

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-image-view

Otherwise delete everything called image_view manually and reinstall it using apt-get.

Reinstalling it is indeed the fastest way to solve the problem. Thank you

try the Qt GUI plugin version of image_view.

If you're using hydro:

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-rqt-image-view

otherwise, don't forget to replace the hydro with the ros distro you're using.

Then run the executable node:

rosrun rqt_image_view rqt_image_view

At the top left corner, you can search for the image topic to listen.

For more details: rqt_image_view

Thanks that's also a good choice
