Hello guys,

I got a classic problem but cannot solve it with classic solution.

arifle@ubuntu:~/orbslam/ORB_SLAM/build$ sudo cmake ..

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    /core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake

See, nothing changed after setting the path.

Try this
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:/home/arifle/orbslam/ORB_SLAM/
In this slash is changed.

Not yet. @saurabhagrawal3

[chaiein]

before that try the $source /opt/ros//setup.bash
or
Are you using the qtcreator for this? If so , first give
$source /opt/ros//setup.bash , then start the qtcreator

Then try
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:/home/arifle/orbslam/ORB_SLAM/
or
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:/home/arifle/orbslam/ORB_SLAM
