hi!
trying to build ros noetic stella_vslam on raspberry pi4 with raspbian buster and stucked with error:

as far as i understand system cant find my stella_vslam installed in /home/pi/stella_vslam
how to fix it ?
may be something like export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=${ROS_PACKAGE_PATH}:/home/pi/ORB_SLAM3/Examples_old/ROS/ORB_SLAM3
should work ?

i see the same error on my VM machine:

Describe all commands you have executed and their results.

i have installed stella-vslam following https://stella-cv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html and chose SocketViewer.
everything works as expected.

now i try https://stella-cv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ros_package.html#installation to install ros nodes on my PC with ros noetic Ubuntu 20.04.
so i do:

cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone --recursive --branch ros --depth 1 https://github.com/stella-cv/stella_vslam_ros.git
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make -DUSE_PANGOLIN_VIEWER=OFF -DUSE_SOCKET_PUBLISHER=ON

catkin starts building and fails with error (see above).

ok. fixed it. just forgot did again 'sudo make install' in cd /path/to/stella_vslam. there was no link may be. that is strange because everything works without it.
