can't install the package

[ghost]

hello,

I'm trying to install the rtabmap by following the instructions.Bu ti'm getting the following error
1.
CMake Error at src/rtabmap_ros/CMakeLists.txt:20 (find_package):
Could not find a configuration file for package "RTABMap" that is
compatible with requested version "0.10.5".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

/opt/ros/indigo/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rtabmap-0.10/RTABMapConfig.cmake, version: 0.10.4
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rtabmap-0.10/RTABMapConfig.cmake, version: 0.10.4

2.CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:283 (message):
A required package was not found

Can anyone help me to solve the issue?

Thanks in advance.

If you are building rtabmap_ros from source, you should build rtabmap from source too (to match the version). Uninstall ros-indigo-rtabmap:

sudo apt-get remove ros-indigo-rtabmap

Then follow instructions from here.

cheers

I tried the above the instructions,but still i'm getting the same error.Now i un-installed everything and i would like install by follwing below steps,
1.Install the RTAB standalone libraries in the catkin/devel folder.
2.Install the RTAB-ROS pkg in the catkin/src folder.
3.then catkin_make.

As per the above the comment,i installed the both the RTAB and RTAB-ROS pkg in the src folder,but it didn't work!

correct me,if i'm wrong!

Thanks in advance.

It is not explicitly explained in the instructions, but rtabmap library should be built outside the catkin workspace because it is not a common catkin package (it is a plain cmake package). Cloning rtabmap in src folder of catkin will result in errors.

Merging all directives in one walkthrough:

$ source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash

$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap.git rtabmap
$ cd rtabmap/build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/catkin_ws/devel ..
$ make -j4
$ make install

$ source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

$ cd ~/catkin_ws
$ git clone https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap_ros.git src/rtabmap_ros
$ catkin_make

If you still have problems, a copy-paste of the catkin_make errors would be useful.

cheers

I tried to implement above mentioned method with ROS-Melodic. Following error occurred :
Using these message generators: gencpp;geneus;genlisp;gennodejs;genpy
-- Could NOT find move_base_msgs (missing: move_base_msgs_DIR)
-- Could not find the required component 'move_base_msgs'. The following CMake error indicates that you either need to install the package with the same name or change your environment so that it can be found.

Add the installation prefix of "move_base_msgs" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"move_base_msgs_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"move_base_msgs" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.

sudo apt install ros-melodic-move-base-msgs

thanks to the answer of matlabbe, my question is
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/catkin_ws/devel ..
here my workspace is test, replace catkin_ws with test is ok

[matlabbe]

This command:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/catkin_ws/devel ..

will install in your catkin workspace's devel directory. It is more for preference, if you want to install rtabmap library like any linux libraries, just do:

cmake ..

and it will be installed in /usr/local prefix.

@matlabbe Thanks for the walkthrough. After following the instructions and executing catkin_make I got the following errors:

-- Using these message generators: gencpp;geneus;genlisp;gennodejs;genpy

Following the same logic as your answer to @walekarsayali, I tried:
sudo apt install ros-noetic-rtabmap
But then I got the same error message as in the original post on this issue:

CMake Error at rtabmap_ros/CMakeLists.txt:34 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "RTABMap" that is
  compatible with requested version "0.20.13".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    /opt/ros/noetic/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rtabmap-0.20/RTABMapConfig.cmake, version: 0.20.10

which makes sense because that just installs rtabmap_ros (not from source).

What should I do to solve the first error I quoted here?
Thanks for your help!
