Hector_mapping cannot laser scan into base_frame

edit

Hi guys. Thanks for your attention in advance.

I am using hector_mapping with Hokuyo URG-04LX-UG01 and ROS INDIGO.

The problem has appeared in other occasions, but following indications of other questions hasn't solved it.

So, once again, the problem is, when I run the hector_mapping node and the hokuyo_node at the same time,

$ rosrun hokuyo_node hokuyo_node

$ rosrun hector_mapping hector_mapping

it appears this error:

[ INFO] [1469723827.101706930]: lookupTransform base_link to laser timed out. Could not transform laser scan into base_frame.

I've seen that the solution goes through changing some parameters in the launch file of the hector_mapping. I've tried but it's still not working. I attach here the mapping_default.launch (opt/ros/indigo/share/hector_mapping/launch/mapping_default.launch).

Again, thanks a lot. A detailed answer would be super appreciated.
