Error while compiling ros drivers for velodyne on ROS Indigo

edit

System Config: Ubuntu 14.04 and ROS Indigo

As mentioned here, http://answers.ros.org/question/22659... I have followed those steps to install ROS drivers from Velodyne to work with VLP 16.

However, when i run

catkin_make

I get the following errors

[ 61%] Built target ringcolors_node

[ 63%] Linking CXX shared library /home/iirav/catkin_ws/devel/lib/libvelodyne_rawdata.so

[ 70%] Built target ringcolors_nodelet

make: * [all] Error 2

Invoking "make -j8 -l8" failed

Any suggestions pls ?
