Compiling workspace files failing for cmake error

edit

Hi All,

I am trying to work on Hector SLAM using rosbot simulation in gazebo. I have ROS Kinetic installed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

I have cloned the required repositories for hector slam. rplidar and rosbot from github into the source folder.

After that I installed all the dependencies required using following command in catkin_workspace.

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

which results in

executing command [sudo -H apt-get install -y gazebo7]

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

After this I invoke catkin_make which is resulting in cmake errors.

catkin_make --only-pkg-with-deps rplidar_ros hector_slam
