Part 3: lidar_wobbler: [rosrun] Couldn't find executable named wobbler_sine_commander #28

Description

@eliaskrchnr

I tried following the tutorial on page 250.
I could start gazebo and launch the lidar_wobbler.launch.
When I tried executing rosrun lidar_wobbler wobbler_sine_commander I got the following error: [rosrun] Couldn't find executable named wobbler_sine_commander
The file exists, the setup.bash is sourced and if I use roscd lidar_wobbler, the terminal finds the package.

elias@elias-ThinkPad:~$ cd ws_newman/
elias@elias-ThinkPad:~/ws_newman$ source devel/setup.bash
elias@elias-ThinkPad:~/ws_newman$ roscd lidar_wobbler

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named wobbler_sine_commander below /home/elias/ws_newman/src/learning_ros/Part_3/lidar_wobbler

I'm a newbie at ROS, so the answer could be really simple, and I am missing something. My CMakeLists.txt is the same as in the repository, since I didn't change anything.
I also deleted everything and cloned the repository again. Both times I got some error. A few of them regard the baxter package from Part 5, so it shouldn't affect me. The second error came in the end, and I could not find a reason for it online. It is:
Invoking "make -j16 -l16" failed
I'm grateful for every hint and advice. :)
