[Solved] catkin_make Error: Invoking “make -j12 -l12“ failed

While studying the official ROS tutorial Writing a Simple Publisher and Subscriber (C++), the following error occurred when running catkin_make:

After looking for the reason for a long time, I finally found that the final error was due to the wrong version of GCC and G + +. After changing GCC and g++ 5.5.0, I successfully compiled

Process for installing GCC and g++ version 5.5.0:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test 
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install gcc-5
sudo apt-get install g++-5

Change GCC and g++ versions

cd /usr/bin 
sudo rm gcc 
sudo ln -s gcc-5 gcc 
sudo rm g++ 
sudo ln -s g++-5 g++

Finally, check whether the modification is successful

gcc --version
g++ --version

Recompile:

catkin_make clean   #Clear the front compile
catkin_make

[Solved] catkin_make Error: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pyparsing

A new workspace is created and catkin_make gives the following error:

Invoking "cmake" failed

 

Solution:
Downgrade the version of catkin-pkg
$pip3 install catkin-pkg==0.4.16
