Hi I was building a package from a tutorial link text but when I tried doing rosmake I got an error

Failed to invoke /opt/ros/fuerte/bin/rospack deps-manifests trajectory_control_tutorial
[rospack] Error: package/stack trajectory_control_tutorial depends on non-existent package drc_robot_utils

I was already working with the drc robot and I know I have it on my disk.

what should I write instead? thanks

Edit\ Now I tried to run a file that I used before from a package that has that dependency and I am getting this error-

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/nachum/joint_control_tutorial/scripts/joint_control12.py", line 3, in <module>
    import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('drc_robot_utils')

    sys.path = _generate_python_path(package_name, _rospack) + sys.path
  File "/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/roslib/launcher.py", line 93, in _generate_python_path
    m = rospack.get_manifest(pkg)

    return self._load_manifest(name)

ROS path [2]=/home/nachum/ros

Both errors mean that the package drc_robot_utils was not found. Make sure that it is on your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. You can try if it is by running roscd drc_robot_utils; that should bring you to the package directory.

yes that's what it was. how do I permanently put a path on my ros path? I think I put it by echo "source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc . ~/.bashrc

Yes, but after that line you should add the path to the packages in your home dir like this: echo 'export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/nachum/ros/drc_robot_utils:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH' &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc. You can also use rosws instead.
