package 'vrep_ros_plugin' not found

Hi,
I installed the package on ros indigo, ubuntu 14.04
when I run vrep, I encounter this erro and vrep doesn't open

Plugin 'RosBridge': loading...
[rospack] Error: package 'vrep_ros_plugin' not found
[librospack]: error while executing command

what(): Unable to find package: vrep_ros_plugin

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Have you added to you bashrc the following?

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=${ROS_PACKAGE_PATH}:/path_to_catkin_ws/catkin_ws/src
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
source /path_to_catkin_ws/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

I am having a similar issue and I tried what you have suggested, but it did not work:

tangos@ubuntu:~/catkin_ws$ sudo ./devel/lib/pluginlib_tutorials_/polygon_loader
[rospack] Error: package 'pluginlib_tutorials_' not found
[librospack]: error while executing command
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'pluginlib::ClassLoaderException'
