Could NOT find actionlib (missing: actionlib_DIR)

在执行CMake时出现：

  Add the installation prefix of "actionlib" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set

  "actionlib" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has

让我解释一下：

首先，CMake 在执行时会搜索项目所需的依赖项，以便正确配置项目。

1、在这个输出中，CMake 首先显示了正在使用的开发环境和一些配置选项，例如 Python 解释器和测试结果存储路径。

2、然后，CMake 尝试查找名为 actionlib 的软件包，但未能成功找到。

3、错误信息显示了详细信息，指出找不到 actionlib 软件包的配置文件。

可以先运行下面代码：

$ dpkg -l | grep ros-noetic-rqt-graph

和

$ rospack find actionlib

我的输出结果为：

cst@cst-ubuntu:~/catkin_ws1/src/actionlib_example_pkg$ rospack find actionlib

[rospack] Error: package 'actionlib' not found

cst@cst-ubuntu:~/catkin_ws1/src/actionlib_example_pkg$ apt list --installed | grep actionlib

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

ros-noetic-actionlib-msgs/focal,now 1.13.1-1focal.20230620.182322 amd64 [已安装，可自动卸载]

解释一下：

第一个命令 rospack find actionlib ：

        用于在 ROS 环境中查找 actionlib 软件包的安装路径。然而，它返回了一个错误，说明在您的 ROS 环境中没有找到名为 actionlib 的软件包。

第二个命令 apt list --installed | grep actionlib ：

        用于在系统中查找所有已安装的软件包中是否包含名为 actionlib 的软件包。输出显示了一个名为 ros-noetic-actionlib-msgs 的软件包已经安装，并且版本号为 1.13.1-1focal.20230620.182322。这个软件包提供了 actionlib 消息的功能。

可以看出： 

        已经安装了 ros-noetic-actionlib-msgs 软件包，但未安装完整的 actionlib 软件包。

我们可以尝试使用下面的命令来安装完整的 actionlib 软件包：
 

$ sudo apt install ros-noetic-actionlib

这样就解决了actionlib软件包不完整的问题，这时候运行“cmake .”可能还会报错，

这时候重新配置你的项目就可以解决了。
