However, when I run catkin_make install and source the setup.bash in the install folder, the same command results in the ur_hadware_interface node crashing with the following error message:
[FATAL] [1605125319.557317996]: Did not receive confirmation on RTDE output recipe.

I’ve not modified anything in the repo packages (i.e. CMakeLists.txt’s).Has anyone run into this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it?
We are not using the ROS driver. in the project. Instead we are using UR RTDE https://sdurobotics.gitlab.io/ur_rtde/index.html to interface with our robot. If you try to implement our system without changing everything that depends on RTDE you will unfortunately receive an error.
Based on the description of your problem, I believe you tried to do the following in your catkin workspace before launching the ur10e robot in ROS environment.
cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
# retrieve the sources (replace '$DISTRO' with the ROS version you are using)
git clone -b $DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/universal_robot.git
cd /path/to/catkin_ws
# checking dependencies (replace '$DISTRO' with the ROS version you are using)
rosdep update
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $DISTRO
# building
catkin_make
# source this workspace (careful when also sourcing others)
cd /path/to/home/directory/
source /path/to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
If the above-mentioned commands didn’t give you any errors. Then, you don’t need to explicitly source again the catkin workspace separately from the install folder of your relevant ROS package. In your case, the ROS package is “universal_robot”.
