Using PCL with ROS for surface normal estimation

Hi Guys,

I am trying to use PCL with ROS for normal estimation of point cloud data published from Gazebo. when i am trying to run my code 

pcl::NormalEstimation<pcl::PointXYZ, pcl::Normal> ne;
     ne.setInputCloud (cloud);

I got such errors

error: no matching function for call to ‘pcl::NormalEstimation<pcl::PointXYZ, pcl::Normal>::setInputCloud(pcl::PCLPointCloud2*&)’
      ne.setInputCloud (cloud);

You cannot pass a pcl::PointCloud2 directly as the input cloud. It needs to be a pcl::PointCloud<input point type>::Ptr see the example here.
