How to install and run openni_tracker for Hydro
Thank you in advance for your help and patience. I am new to ROS and could use some help with openni_tracker and the Microsoft Kinect. I'm am using Ubuntu 12.04 and ROS Hydro
I have installed openni_camera and openni_launch according to openni_camera:
$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-openni-camera
$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-openni-launch
$ rosdep update
I have no problems running openni_launch and viewing the point cloud data, color image, or disparity view using Rviz and image_view.
I have installed openni_tracker:
$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-openni-tracker
$ rosdep update
$ roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
$ rosrun openni_tracker openni_tracker
and get an error
[ERROR] [1416949546.535139208]: Find user generator failed: This operation is invalid!
I've uninstalled ROS (both Groovy and Hydro) with
$ sudo apt-get remove ros-<distro>
and still the problem comes up. I've read in a few threads that I should install NITE dev or something to help. But have also noticed that it hasn't helped some people.
Again, I am new to this, so some step-by-step help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I've also installed openni2_tracker...located in ~/catkin_ws/src/. When I go back to my catkin_ws and use catkin_make, I get the following errors:
-- ==> add_subdirectory(openni2_tracker)

I am not sure what this means or how to fix the problem...thanks for your help.
