I’m running into similar problems with my Xavier NX. So far I believe I’ve tracked it down to the wrong version of opencv being on the system. For me 4.1.1 is installed. ROS Melodic is built with 3.2.0. I’m still trying to figure out how to get opencv 3.2.0 installed or some other workaround.

You can check what version of opencv you have installed by running
apt search libopencv

/usr/local/include/opencv is also not present on my machine only /usr/local/include/opencv4

Thank you for sharing your info. I’ll try downgrading the opencv version and try again. When I get it to working, I’ll post it up the result.

I ended up removing the libopencv* libraries that came preinstalled. I then shut off the Nvidia repositories. Then I reinstalled ROS melodic which grabbed opencv 3.2.0 from the normal Ubuntu. This fixed the cv_bridge dependencies.

It’d better if there was a way to keep opencv 4 I’d be interested.

hwlim3unws · June 9, 2020, 5:36pm

How do you shut off the Nvidia repositories? I’m new to jetson nano and TX2. can you carefully explain to me how to achieve your way of solving the problem? Thank you in advance!

hwlim3unws · June 9, 2020, 6:45pm

Hi, I followed your method(gundy360’s) and it worked!

sudo apt-get purge ’ * libopencv * ’ (’ and * should have not space in between. Don’t know why but this website does not reflect when ’ and * is next to each other)
sudo apt-get remove ros-*
System Settings → Software & Updates → ‘Other Software’ tab → uncheck nvidia related repos
reinstall ROS using ROS website’s tutorial
~/catkin_ws$ source devel/setup.bash
~/catkin_ws$ catkin_make

the catkin_make worked. and cv_bridge issue disappeared.
I was able to run hector slam.

hi,
i am facing the same issue but when i run your first command sudo apt-get purge ’* libopencv *’ i get this in the end

E: Unable to locate package *’
E: Couldn't find any package by glob '*’'
E: Regex compilation error - Invalid preceding regular expression
E: Couldn't find any package by regex '*’'
