Revision history [back]

i am using ubuntu 14.04 and ros indigo i would prefer a general solution and by the way installing sudo apt-get helped with this package thanks......but i need to edit the source code so it would be better if a solution for the error is available

This is most likely simply a dependency issue: you cannot clone a single package and then expect to be able to build it without also making sure to have all its dependencies present. ROS has a tool for that rosdep. See Installing package from source in Indigo for one answer (there are many more) that shows how to use it.
