Invoking "cmake" failed
I keep getting an error every time I try to run the catkin_make command. This is what the error says
CMake Error at /usr/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:75 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "geometry_msgs"
with any of the following names:
geometry_msgsConfig.cmake
geometry_msgs-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "geometry_msgs" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"geometry_msgs_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"geometry_msgs" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.

Can you please paste content of your CMake file?
Thanks.
My guess is that you have not sourced the /opt/local/whatever/ros/indigo/setup.bash file before running cmake. Can you ensure it is found at the end of your ~/.bashrc file, and/or post the output of `export | grep ROS`?
i have the same issue attached and sayes that :
-- Could not find the required component 'position_controllers'. The following CMake error indicates that you either need to install the package with the same name or change your environment so that it can be found.

I don't think hossam's error is the same as the OP: if your error isn't the same, then in the future make a new post.
I do believe hossam's error is due to either: (1) not installing the ros-indigo-ros-controllers package and other dependencies: make sure you follow all the instructions at https://cps-vo.org/node/26602 or (2) not installing ROS Indigo with Ubuntu 14.04.
Check that page to make sure you have all the necessary pieces installed with the correct OS, and then check back with us. Good luck!
Many Thanks Dr.
it really work after installing the controller manager support files (https://cps-vo.org/node/26602)
however i cannot post new topic and the Forum checkbox doesn't appear any thing to me as attached
Hossam had not joined the group under the 'Sign up!' tab. I took the liberty of joining him to the group, and now he is able to post new forum topics.
Click the "NEW TOPIC" button at the top-right corner of the main content area at https://cps-vo.org/forum/21493.
You may also get to that URL by selecting the grey "Forums" menu item along the left from anywhere within the group, and then selecting the "General" forum (which is the only one that exists for this group at this time).
