The jaco/kinova ROS arm driver uses a "KinovaAPI" layer to communicate with the arm. You can get this from Kinova. The Kinova API is a dynamic module that is loaded by the jaco/kinova driver at startup (it's not linked as a shared or static library at build time) so it will still build if the KinovaAPI dynamic module is missing, but will fail at runtime with warnings/errors such as "dlopen failed ... cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", so check the output or log file if logging to file. (Will also fail to load on other problems such as a library its linked to is missing, or is incompatible format or architecture, or another problem)
