Revision history [back]

PCL from pointclouds.org has different openni_grabber framework and the openni_launch that ships with ROS is different. Both cannot exist and work simultaneously. Thus if you have pcl that ships with ROS, it works with openni_launch that can grab kinect data for you. I think its the same with the other headers/packages too.
