Hi, I wrote an global planner for my turtlebot. But when I tried to source my .bashrc, only one setup.bash can work. When I source ~/turtlebot/devel/setup.bash, I can use simulator or navigation . But I need to load my own planner plugin, so I source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash, Then I can see the plugin. But I can not use anything about turtlebot now. It seems that source ~/turtlebot/devel/setup.bash is cancelled. If I source ~/turtlebot/devel/setup.bash again, I can use turtlebot but I can not see my plugin, source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bashstopped working. Can anybody help me with this? For convenience, I usually put all such things in .bashrc file. But it seems that only one setup.bash can work at a time.

I would suggest copying the whole turtlebot package into your catin_ws/src and only sourcing catin_ws/devel/setup.bash will not produce any conflicts. I have been tweaking a lot of turtlebot packages this way and had no issues so far. Try it.

Especially take care of section 3.3 of the tutorial @Thomas D linked.

This sounds like issues with workspace overlaying ( http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/... ). You should be able to do what you want, I'm just not sure exactly how without diving into it more. Hopefully that link gets you in the right direction.
