Sounds like you have to run

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-map-server

(assuming you're using ROS Indigo). If that doesn't help, there might indeed be a problem with your path setup and @TomSon's advice applies.

thanks.I used to run sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-map-server, but it prints: ros-indigo-map-server :Depends: libsdl-image1.2-dev but it is not going to be installed.I don't know how to do next?

This means you likely have some sort of package install/version conflict that normally does not appear on a clean Ubuntu install. Either google for "is not going to be installed" and learn how to resolve this, or perform a fresh install of Ubuntu.

Thanks. I use sudo aptitude install libsdl-image1.2-dev,and it works....Although I don't know why.

Ok, normally dependencies like this should be installed automatically, so there might still be an issue lingering. But you can probably ignore that for now :)

I am learning linux and ROS a little time ,so there maybe some problems.Thanks again

I tried to run sudo aptitude install libsdl-image1.2-dev and remove installed version, then re-install. It works ok

add this lines to your .bashrc

source /opt/ros/<ros-distro>/setup.bash

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/<user>/catkin_ws:/opt/ros/<ros-distro>/share:/opt/ros/<ros-distro>/stacks

export ROS_WORKSPACE=/home/<user>/catkin_ws

for example

source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/bgs/catkin_ws:/opt/ros/kinetic/share:/opt/ros/kinetic/stacks

export ROS_WORKSPACE=/home/bgs/catkin_ws

Check your source path. (normally in .bashrc) Check that you have installed and run rospack rosdep map_server (I use that to assure the dependencies)

Thanks. Please tell me more detail ,I am a newcomer in ROS . In my .bashrc,in the end of the file, "source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bashsource ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash",how to modify it?``

You don't have to modify it. I would recommend to start with a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 and use the One line install script. It will install all ROS properly.Then you can add the package map server.

Thanks.I have solved it.
