Bizarre include directory, it is assuming that ros2-humble build location still exists, which it may or may not. In my case, it does not.

I should note that I am using yay AUR manager, if that wasn't immediatebly obvious.

Still cannot build on Arch Llinux, building fails with:

I cannot build as well with the same error as @BBArikL. I am using yay as AUR manager as well

[vladh]

Same error here. File.exists? was deprecated in Ruby 2.2 and removed in Ruby 3.2.0. A downgrade would fix it, but downgrading Ruby would probably break other stuff. So stdformat probably needs a fix.

[vladh]

I fixed this by going to sdformat-9/src/sdformat-sdformat9_9.8.0/tools/xmlschema.rb and running the substitution s/exists?/exist?.

#107 is a potential fix
