Edit: Ah hah, this turned out to be a package problem, not a rospack problem. Sorry!

I have a package in an overlay. This same package exists in the /opt stacks. My ROS_PACKAGE_PATH has the overlay before the /opt stacks.

/home/vchwang/ros_workspace/sandbox:/opt/ros/electric/stacks:/opt/ros/electric/ros

However, roscd still points to the one in /opt. As a result, rosmake refuses to build the package in my overlay. How do I change this?

Some more info:

Even after running rospack profile, my rospack_cache claims the package sbpl is in /opt/ros/electric/stacks/arm_navigation/sbpl. If I go into ~/ros_workspace/sandbox/sbpl and rosmake, I get:

[ rosmake ] No package selected and the current directory is not the correct path for package 'sbpl'.

Please try to provide enough information for us to reproduce your error. http://www.ros.org/wiki/Support You're saying it's doing the wrong thing, and people are guessing in the dark.

Can you post the whole rosmake message include the shell prompt?

Turns out I was getting the wrong version of the package, which did not contain a manifest file.

You can try:

  rospack profile

Everytime I met such like roscd problems, I can solve it by this command.

But I'm not understand why rosmake refuce to make. What's that message?

Hope this helps you~

Make sure the overlayed package has exactly the same name as the one in opt (pay attention to '-' vs. '_'). It sounds like there could be a typo in the package name.

Try opening up ~/.ros/rospack_cache in a text editor and removing the entry for the package. If that doesn't work, could you post the output of echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH?

That didn't work - the file would just automatically add back in the directory. My package path: /home/vchwang/ros_workspace/sandbox:/opt/ros/electric/stacks:/opt/ros/electric/ros (where the package I want is in the sandbox).
