geometric_shapes package error, assimp/aiScene.h not found

edit

I am trying to set up the full Jade installation on Ubuntu 14.04.3.. I've followed the official instructions to do this ( http://wiki.ros.org/jade/Installation... ), but have hit something of a roadblock with the following:

$./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

http://answers.ros.org/question/18735... The above is similar to my problem but no workaround is given there.

Here's the terminal output showing what happened with geometric_shapes:

==> Processing catkin package: 'geometric_shapes'

<== Failed to process package 'geometric_shapes': 
  Command '['/home/toji/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh', 'make', '-j4', '-l4']' returned non-zero exit status 2

Reproduce this error by running:
==> cd /home/toji/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/geometric_shapes && /home/toji/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh make -j4 -l4

Command failed, exiting.

I will appreciate any help.
