navfn_ros.h uses wrong include directories?

Question

I just wanted to use the wrapper navfn::NavfnROS for a navfn::NavFn object and I can't compile because the include paths in this particular header(navfn_ros.h) seem to be corrupted.

The ROS installation for the navfn package on my pc looks like this:

Path: /opt/ros/hydro/navfn

• navfn [folder]
• MakeNavPlan.h
• MakeNavPlanRequest.h
• MakeNavPlanResponse.h
• SetCostmap.h
• SetCostmapRequest.h
• SetCostmapResponse.h

Path: /opt/ros/hydro/navfn/navfn

• navfn.h
• navfn_ros.h
• navwin.h
• potarr_point.h
• read_pgm_costmap.h

The includes in navfn_ros.h are #include <navfn/navfn.h> and #include <navfn/potarr_point.h> instead of #include <navfn/navfn/navfn.h> and #include <navfn/navfn/potarr_point.h>

Does this folder structure only arise on my pc or is it a bug in this wrapper that needs to be reported? I'd be glad if someone around here could check whether it is the same on his pc/ROS install.

Regards, Adrian

That is a very odd layout. Are you not using the debian packages? You shouldn't compile into /opt/ros/.

For reference this is what the contents of the debian package is:

$ dpkg -L ros-hydro-navfn
/.

Thanks for your answer! My text might have sounded a bit confusing but your answer helped me! I didn't compile into opt/ros, my problem occurred when including a ros-header (navfn_ros.h). This header includes a file that doesn't exist.

Comment by EddiEdward on 2013-12-21:
I therefore conclude that it is a bug in the ros-navfn-package -> wrong header link. How should I report this?
