lost executable on semantic_point_annotator from debian

[furushchev]

Hi, I tried to use semantic_point_annotator package that contains sac_inc_ground_removal_node executable, and installed via apt-get install ros-indigo-semantic-point-annotator.
However, rosrun could not find any executable:

rosrun semantic_point_annotator sac_inc_ground_removal_node
[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named sac_inc_ground_removal_node below /opt/ros/indigo/share/semantic_point_annotator

I further checked that install section in CMakeLists.txt is written correctly and looked into contents which are installed and found the executable:

$ dpkg -L ros-indigo-semantic-point-annotator  | grep bin
/opt/ros/indigo/bin
/opt/ros/indigo/bin/sac_inc_ground_removal_node

So I guess that there is something wrong with releasing process.
@thedash Please could you check if there is any part to change permission of executable file on releasing process?

@furushchev

Is it possible you installed the package via root/superuser and are trying to execute it from a user without permissions?

Could you confirm the permissions your user has and the executable has and post them here?

[UltronDestroyer]

It looks like I installed it only to /opt/ros/indigo/bin

This means the node is run without rosrun and by calling:

sac_inc_ground_removal_node

It's deceptive, and most nodes run with rosrun are found in the /opt/ros/indigo/lib path.

Do you recommend I change this so it installs to lib instead?

[furushchev]

@thedash You're right!
+1 to change so to make it callable via rosrun / roslaunch, because this node is usually launched via roslaunch and I think there is no one who execute as global executable.

@thedash kindly ping to maintainer

[UltronDestroyer]

@furushchev I'm no longer maintaining PR2.

Do you mind making the change?

[furushchev]

@thedash Yes, until update, we cannot execute the node from roslaunch.
