Writing a Simple Publisher and Subscriber (C++) ROS tutorials and then run catkin_make and then in root workspace run : $ rosrun beginner2_tutorials talker but I receive this result :

The default location of the executable shouldn't be in your src directory if you're following the tutorials. Did you forget to source the setup.bash file from your devel directory?

hi, when your using your own package called "beginner2_tutorials" i think you have completed the normal "beginner_tutorials" ? Is this so,and was the result, that you could run it ?

have you sourced your devel/setup.bash file before running rosrun ?

hi , thanks for all helps all of my fault was mkdir msg and srv so after make them and did the catkin_make again i could see

Linking CXX executable /home/fatima/catkin_ws2/devel/lib/beginner_tutorials/talker
Linking CXX executable /home/fatima/catkin_ws2/devel/lib/beginner_tutorials/listener

so two executable files with name talker and listener were made in catkin_ws2/devel/lib/beginner_tutorials so when i run rosrun beginner2_tutorials talker again i could receive the result true run catkin_make is so important .

this error may happen when you don`t grant an execute permission to the file

chmod +x exec_file

Instead of trying to solve your issue directly, I suggest you to take a look at other threads where some of them seem to handle exactly the same error messages.

UPDATE) Not sure from the limited provided information, but you might have forgotten to run source devel/setup.bash.

If this works, I suggest you review the earlier tutorials; usage of source command is covered earlier.

hi guys,the executable files' path is always .../devel/lib,besides catkin_ws/devel/,a IDE may create another path,such as catkin_ws/src/cmake_and_debug/devel/lib,so remember to source the setup.sh in every devel folder in your workspace.good luck!
