hi i have used following links to install ardupilot:
http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/setting-up-sitl-on-linux.html#setting-up-sitl-on-linux

following is the error when i try to make jsbsim

Makefile:487: recipe for target ‘libInit_la-FGSimplexTrim.lo’ failed
make[2]: *** [libInit_la-FGSimplexTrim.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory ‘/opt/jsbsim/src/initialization’
Makefile:612: recipe for target ‘all-recursive’ failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/opt/jsbsim/src’
Makefile:387: recipe for target ‘all-recursive’ failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Moreover when i try to run sim_vehicle.py i get following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “…/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py”, line 25, in
from pymavlink import mavextra
ImportError: No module named pymavlink

i have upgraded both mavproxy and pymavlink again and again but it gives me same thing
Requirement already up-to-date: pymavlink in /home/muntaha/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (2.3.7)
Requirement already up-to-date: MAVProxy in /home/muntaha/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (1.8.8)

The instructions on this page are outdated, Ardupilot now works with the latest JSBSim master.
For using JSBSim, see the following page - Using SITL with JSBSim — Dev documentation

Regrading the pymavlink issue, not very sure what’s going on.
Did you use the install-prereqs-ubuntu.sh script to setup the environment?
pip defaults to python3 now so that might have caused some problem

According to me, it’s better to stick with Python2 for ardupilot since everything works correctly with that (someone else could provide detailed info on python 2 vs 3 for ardupilot)

Hope this helps
