Linking error with bag_to_pcd

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to build ROS Groovy on an ARM machine (Cubox). I want to compile perception_ros but I keep getting this error when I try to build with catkin_make:

I built and installed PCL (trunk) successfully.

Thanks for any help!

Hi, when you build something, go to build directory and make sure you run ccmake .. from the terminal. Then check if all the libraries and include directories find the required pcl directories. The directories will be locate din /usr/include/pcl if you have downloaded PPA from http://pointclouds.org/downloads/linux.html otherwise, it will be in /usr/local/include/pcl and the libraries would be in usr/lib/ make sure that ccmake is configured with all the required libraries.. Then try to do make sudo make install
