Problem installing openni_kinect

I started using ROS last week and tried installing openni_kinect. I followed the steps here:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/openni_kinect

Everything seems to work properly until I get to step 4 when I start to compile. I get an error:

[ 20%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/depth_image_proc.dir/src/nodelets/register.o /home/drcool/openni_kinect/openni_kinect/depth_image_proc/src/nodelets/register.cpp: In member function ‘void depth_image_proc::RegisterNodelet::imageCb(const ImageConstPtr&, const CameraInfoConstPtr&, const CameraInfoConstPtr&)’:

The bolded section states the specific error. Before I began installing this I installed the nao stacks for ROS located here:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/nao/Installation

My current system is Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric, and I did a full desktop install of ROS electric. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

If you're using ROS on Ubuntu, you shouldn't have to install the drivers from source; just do:

sudo apt-get install ros-electric-openni-kinect

I have this exact error, I haven't been able to fix it yet. I think it has to do with the particular version of Eigen used in the geometry stack, but I'm not sure. If you find an answer please update. Thanks.

As mentioned above, since you're on Ubuntu just follow the "Ubuntu installation" instructions to install the prebuilt packages.

I corrected the openni_kinect.rosinstall file linked through the wiki to install the electric tag of openni_kinect instead of default (where active development happens), so the source installation instructions should work again. Your errors resulted from building the Fuerte version of openni_kinect against Electric.
