Trying to get teb local planner

After catkin_make I am getting this error - virtual memory exhausted.

Hello thiaga,

Package teb_local_planner is available to install through apt:

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-teb-local-planner

If it in not the case for you, it should be easier.

To build it anyway, try to use -j 1 option:

catkin_make -j 1

This will force compiler to use only single thread for compilation. Build process will take more time, but will release some memory.

Regards,
Łukasz
