I'm installing teb-local-planner. I have Ubuntu MATE 16.04 running on Raspberry Pi 3 with the kinetic variant. teb-local-planner has nav_core as one of its dependencies. nav_core has costmap_2d as one of its dependencies and costmap_2d has pcl_conversions as one of its dependencies. However there is no kinetic-devel branch for pcl_conversions at https://github.com/ros-perception/pcl_conversions.git. Is it recommended that I clone the indigo-devel branch instead? Any other suggestions? Thanks. Here is some of the error text though I can't get it to render correctly in the preview. I have more in a text file that I tried to attach but I don't have enough points yet:

I tried installing the indigo-devel branch and all system dependencies needed for nav_core were satisfied. However the catkin_make build failed.

If you edit your question with the errors from the failing build, we may be able to help guide you in the right direction.

hi @rospiguy! im trying to get ROS Kinetic into RPi3 and i get the "missing whitespace" warning as well, so my install fails at the pcl_ros package. Is "installing the indigo-devel branch of the package" really the only way forward? And if so, how does one go about customizing that install?

"Internal compiler error" usually means that the compiler ran out of memory.

Each instance of the compiler that is building very template-heavy code like PCL can use 1G or more of RAM, which is quite a stress on the Pi3.

It looks like you're building with 4 processes in parallel (-j4), which is probably the default if your CPU has 4 cores. Try running catkin_make with -j1 instead, and if you still encounter issues try setting up a 1-2G swap file.

It was indeed a problem with exhausted memory, even with a 2G swap. Running catkin_make with -j1 finally worked. Regarding my initial question, it seems at this point that installing the indigo-devel branch of the pcl_conversions git works for kinetic. Thanks for the help.

Kinetic runs fine on the RPi3 once you get it loaded. Many of the packages that are only Indigo-devel level appear to run fine in Kinetic. Getting Kinetic loaded was no problem once I ran catkin_make with the -j1 argument.
