Hello,

I am using a Jetson Orin NX 16GB with JetPack 6.2 (Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS) and CUDA 12.6. I have installed ROS 2 Humble following NVIDIA’s official guide, but I am facing an issue when trying to install Gazebo-related packages.

When I run the following command:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

I get multiple errors stating that the required Gazebo packages cannot be found.

Error Output:

executing command [sudo -H apt-get install -y ros-humble-gazebo-ros]
E: Unable to locate package ros-humble-gazebo-ros

executing command [sudo -H apt-get install -y ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs]
E: Unable to locate package ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs

executing command [sudo -H apt-get install -y ros-humble-gazebo-plugins]
E: Unable to locate package ros-humble-gazebo-plugins

executing command [sudo -H apt-get install -y ros-humble-gazebo-ros2-control]
E: Unable to locate package ros-humble-gazebo-ros2-control

executing command [sudo -H apt-get install -y ros-humble-velodyne-gazebo-plugins]
E: Unable to locate package ros-humble-velodyne-gazebo-plugins

Please refer to Is the Jetson AGX Orin compatible with "gazebo_ros " - Jetson & Embedded Systems / Jetson AGX Orin - NVIDIA Developer Forums to see if can help. Thanks

I am using Jetson Orin NX 16GB with JetPack 6.2 (Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS) and ROS 2 Humble running locally (not in Docker). When running:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

I get errors stating Gazebo-related packages cannot be found (e.g., ros-humble-gazebo-ros, ros-humble-gazebo-plugins). I have ensured ROS 2 APT sources are set up, checked for missing repositories, and attempted to enable the Isaac ROS APT repository, but the issue persists.

Is there an NVIDIA-specific repository that provides prebuilt ROS 2 Humble Gazebo packages for Jetson? Or should I build gazebo_ros_pkgs from source, and if so, what is the recommended approach for JetPack 6.2?
