Does message_filters support custom messages?

I'm trying to synchronize subscribers that uses a custom message but I get this error when I run catkin_make:

 error: no matching function for call to ‘ros::MessageEvent<const world2local::object_decription_<std::allocator<void> > >::MessageEvent(const ros::MessageEvent<const sensor_msgs::Imu_<std::allocator<void> > >&, bool)’
     Event my_event(event, nonconst_force_copy || event.nonConstWillCopy());

I don't get this issue when I try using a std_msgs message. Is this an issue with message_filters or is this an issue with how I've generated my message?

Note: My message is world2local/object_decription

Can you show us your source code for the node that produces this error. And which message filter are you using?

The Exact Time and Approximate Time message filters work for any message that has a standard header. The header is needed for the timestamp field.

If you post the msg file and relevant portions of your source code, we can better help with the error message.
