Please specify exactly what you are doing, what you want to achieve and what happens instead, including the exact commands and outputs verbatim. The second bullet seems like a different issue that should be in a separate question.

catkin_make for packages installed via rosdep install is not necessary and usually also not possible.

I have an another way around for installing dependencies using rosinstall_generator

  • [rosinstall_generator <pkg_name> --deps --exclude RPP > <pkg_name>.rosinstall]{this will create a rosinstall file with all uninstlled dependencies listed}
  • [rosinstall src/ <pkg_name>.rosinstall]{this will install the packages mentioned in the rosinstall file}

nb: Do this in the catkin root directory
