Answer 1

It appears Catkin is looking in the incorrect workspace as it is looking in the laserscan_kinect/src and not catkin_ws/src.

Try typing 'catkin build laserscan_kinect' or 'catkin_make' inside ~/catkin_ws.

Yup, compilation needs to be done from the root of the workspace (i.e. ~/catkin_ws and not from the root of a package).

@jayess are you sure about that? You are correct regarding catkin_make, but OP mentions catkin build. I believe you can run catkin build from any directory within a workspace. https://catkin-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/verbs/catkin_build.html

This problem could have been caused by running catkin init more than once, or possibly just once but in the wrong directory.

@jarvisschultz Good point, I didn't catch that the asker was using catkin build I only saw that the answerer was using catkin_make
