Error in roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud about loam_velodyne HOT 5 OPEN

You would need to install the Velodyne driver for ROS.

I already solved this problem with the information from another issue, With a ROS launch script, it's necessary to provide the full path name to the PCAP file. example.
/home/user/catkin_ws/file.pcap correct
~/catkin_ws/file.pcap incorrect

from loam_velodyne.

Can you please share the link to the original issue that helped you solve the problem?

from loam_velodyne.

I run：roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud VLP16_points.launch
results：
pcap:="/home/laboshinl/Downloads/velodyne.pcap"
[VLP16_points.launch] is neither a launch file in package [velodyne_pointcloud] nor is [velodyne_pointcloud] a launch file name
The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

Can anyone tell me why this is?
