I'm trying to install the "create3_coverage" example.* It appears to depend on "irobot_create_msgs" which I installed via debian "sudo apt-get install ros-humble-irobot-create-msgs." I get "fatal error: irobot_create_msgs/msg/dock.hpp: No such file or directory" when I try to colcon build.

This is the error message I get when I try and build:

Hello! Sorry to hear about your build troubles. I suspect you may be attempting to build the galactic branch of the examples repository instead of the humble branch. Try cloning the repository again using this command: git clone https://github.com/iRobotEducation/create3_examples.git --branch humble

Let me know if that resolves your issue!

[cpeavy2]

Yes! Thanks! That did the trick. The package now builds and executes.

[brianabouchard]

Awesome, glad to hear it!
