Are you having problems with only this package or every package? Could you please try the following?

cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make
rospack profile
source devel/setup.bash

Hi @sergio.segovia.gonzalez,
Also keep in mind, that the name of the package is not defined by your folder name, but by the name defined in the CMakeLists.txt and package.xml. This can be a common mistake when copying those files from a different package. It’s always best to use
catkin_create_pkg <package_name>
And then to only copy paste specific lines from another package, such as dependencies.
