Align x-axis of end effector with vector in space

Hi all,

I really need your help. I have tried now for a few days to align my end effector with a simple 3d vector in space. Thats's a quite simple task: given position = x,y,z and given orientation vector = a,b,c but I can't find a function in moveit! to do so. I dont know how to form the geometry_msgs::Pose by position (of course) and quaternion. I tried everything like:

That couldn't be the truth, I must have missed something... please advise. I am using ROS Indigo, Ubuntu 14.04LTS, Moveit!

Thank you very much in advance!

Hannes
