Creating generic subscriber in kinetic (C++11)

edit

I am trying go create a generic subscriber as in this wiki example. But when I try catkin_make with the example code, it gives me error: ‘ROSTypeList’ was not declared in this scope static std::map<std::string,ROSTypeList> registered_type;

I am a noob to ROS. I searched the files of the ros_type_introspection pkg installation for ROSTypeList in the ros_type_introspection namespace but couldn't find anything similar. However this is typedef'ed in here in parser.hpp but it is for jade as I understand. There is no parser.hpp or a ROSTypeList in here which is for kinetic. What am I doing wrong?

I did both apt installation and package installation from git in order to install ros_type_introspection. Both gives the same output. Here's the full catkin_make error
