gmapping asks for other datatype

edit

I installed it with apt-get

My solution was to create a launch file with these parameters

<launch>
  <param name="use_sim_time" value="false"/>
  <node pkg="gmapping" type="slam_gmapping" name="slam_gmapping" output="screen">
    <remap from="laser" to="OccupancyGrid"/>
    <param name="map_update_interval" value="5.0"/>
    <param name="maxUrange" value="16.0"/>
    <param name="sigma" value="0.05"/>
    <param name="kernelSize" value="1"/>
    <param name="lstep" value="0.05"/>
    <param name="astep" value="0.05"/>
    <param name="iterations" value="5"/>
    <param name="lsigma" value="0.075"/>
    <param name="ogain" value="3.0"/>
    <param name="lskip" value="0"/>
    <param name="srr" value="0.1"/>
    <param name="srt" value="0.2"/>
    <param name="str" value="0.1"/>
    <param name="stt" value="0.2"/>
    <param name="linearUpdate" value="1.0"/>
    <param name="angularUpdate" value="0.5"/>
    <param name="temporalUpdate" value="3.0"/>
    <param name="resampleThreshold" value="0.5"/>
    <param name="particles" value="30"/>
    <param name="xmin" value="-50.0"/>
    <param name="ymin" value="-50.0"/>
    <param name="xmax" value="50.0"/>
    <param name="ymax" value="50.0"/>
    <param name="delta" value="0.05"/>
    <param name="llsamplerange" value="0.01"/>
    <param name="llsamplestep" value="0.01"/>
    <param name="lasamplerange" value="0.005"/>
    <param name="lasamplestep" value="0.005"/>
  </node>
</launch>

In my tf model the base_laser is called laser

<remap from="laser" to="OccupancyGrid"/>

Thanks
