How to correctly include navfn/navfn_ros.h ?

Hello , I have been trying to get the exploration stack working on hydro ( catkin ) and for the most part it works, but whenever I try to include the navfn/navfn_ros.h in my header file as show on wiki.ros.org/navfn, and run catkin_make, I get the following error :

 In file included from /home/vicos/explore_ws/src/explorer/src/FrontierExplorer.cpp:1:0:
/home/vicos/explore_ws/src/explorer/include/explorer/FrontierExplorer.h:19:29: fatal error: navfn/navfn_ros.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Here is a part of my header file :

#ifndef FRONTIER_EXPLORATION_H
#define FRONTIER_EXPLORATION_H

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <visualization_msgs/Marker.h>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <move_base_msgs/MoveBaseAction.h>
#include <actionlib/client/simple_action_client.h>
#include <vector>
#include <costmap_2d/costmap_2d_ros.h>
#include <costmap_2d/costmap_2d.h>
#include <geometry_msgs/PoseStamped.h>
#include <nav_msgs/GetMap.h>

#include <explorer/FrontierFinder.h>
#include <explorer/Visualizer.h>

#include <navfn/navfn_ros.h>
#include <navfn/navfn.h>

CMakeLists.txt :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(explorer)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  actionlib
  costmap_2d
  geometry_msgs
  move_base_msgs

add_executable(FrontierExplorer src/FrontierExplorer.cpp src/FrontierFinder.cpp src/Visualizer.cpp)

</package>

running rospack find navfn returns

and if I run rospack depends explorer (my modified exploration stack)

visualization_msgs

costmap_2d
move_base_msgs
nav_core
navfn

both of which suggest that the navfn is present and correctly configured on the system and the move_base node ( which seems to use navfn ) works perfectly. So, why do I get the error ?

Thank you in advance for answering my question / helping with my problem !

The header you want is one level too deep in the include hierarchy: navfn/navfv/navfn_ros.h instead of navfn/navfn_ros.h, etc.

That looks like a bug in navfn to me. The Fuerte version put it where one would expect.

You can probably work around this temporarily by adding an extra navfn/ to your #include lines, but it needs to be fixed and should be reported as an issue.

EDIT : As Dirk said, this bug has been fixed in the source tree but still not released to the Ubuntu binary package repository. As a work-around, you can check out the source into your workspace from the https://github.com/ros-planning/navig... hydro-devel branch.

The bug has been fixed in https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation/commit/25f6ef8b7008bc383fb22aec84280e4d107ac8d5 but no new release has been made since then. I added a comment (https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation/commit/166614ca97a637cf525c930d81fcb7b80c48d08c#commitcomment-5575488) - hopefully the maintainers will release a new version into hydro soon.

Thank you, the suggested approach works :). Sort of. Now I can use navfn's planner but the rest of code stops working ..and I can't really figure out why. So I can either use navfn or, remove the navigation source from my workspace and try to run my code without it, like before. I hope the repair the headers soon
