Hello! I'm having trouble installing the ur_robot_driver. I've followed all the steps for installing ROS kinetic and it installed alright and now that I am trying to install the drivers for UR robots an error appears whenever I try running the "rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y":

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved

Does anyone know why I keep getting this error?

Kinetic ist EOL (End of Life). That means you have to run the following command before rosdep install:

rosdep update --include-eol-distros

Thanks! I tried that and the rosdep install command worked afterwards, but when I tried running the catkin_make command I got this:

Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver/ur_robot_driver/CMakeFiles/ur_robot_driver_plugin.dir/build.make:86: recipe for target 'Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver/ur_robot_driver/CMakeFiles/ur_robot_driver_plugin.dir/src/hardware_interface.cpp.o' failed

The message was longer but I can't paste it in here entirely.

Please post the full error message somewhere, e.g. pastebin.com or github gist.

Ok. Here it is: https://pastebin.com/i82L0kdr

Here are the important lines:

Looks like you are trying to use a ros2 driver on ros1. That's not going to ever work.

Nope, this looks like the ros1 driver. Note, that kinetic is not supported anymore by the driver, so it might not be possible to get it running on ROS kinetic.

Nevertheless, you will need the ur_client_library (urcl) for this driver to work. As it is not released for kinetic in recent versions, you might want to consider building that from source, as well, as described here.

I tried building it from source and it gave me another error: https://pastebin.com/racxf8Kg I'll try installing it on another version of ros. Is melodic supported by the driver?

@fexner thank you for correction. I should not have guessed.
