Description

After following the README instructions to build the minimal_software_example repository using:

colcon build --packages-select core pure_pursuit simple_planner watchdog
source install/setup.bash
ros2 launch core core.launch.py
  • The build completes without errors.
  • The workspace is sourced properly.

I consistently encounter the error:
[ERROR] [launch]: executable 'urg_node2_driver' not found on the libexec directory '/home/ahussein/minimal_sofware_example/install/urg_node2/lib/urg_node2'

Research direction

Start with the README command sequence and inspect core.launch.py, then reproduce the build, source, and launch steps. Trace why launch searches the urg_node2 libexec directory without finding urg_node2_driver. Done means the documented commands complete without the reported executable-not-found error.
