Hi All,

I am trying to install depth_nav_tools, however, the catkin_make fails with errors:

I am not sure how to fix this, can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

This would seem to be a case of nav_layer_from_points not declaring a (build) dependency on tf.

See the build script: the tf package is not mentioned anywhere. Neither in the package manifest.

It's likely that the tf dependency was brought in transitively by some other dependency of nav_layer_from_points.

It will probably start working if you add tf to the find_package(catkin REQUIRED ..) and the catkin_package(.. CATKIN_DEPENDS ..) calls in the build script and as a depend to the package manifest.

If you do, and that fixes things, a PR to the original repository contributing that fix would probably be appreciated by the author.

@gvdhoorn I tried this, and it didn't work. Still getting same error when building the package.

Have you made sure to first delete your build and devel directories before trying to run catkin_make again?

@gvdhoorn, Yes I had tried deleting old build and devel. I got the package installed. It needed #include <tf/transform_listener.h> in the costmap_layer.h file. Once you include that, it works fine with your suggestion.
