Hi,

I am trying to install pcl_ros from source on a raspberry pi running groovy. I get this undefined reference when it tries to link bag_to_pcd

according to the PCL forum an undefined reference to pcl::PCDWriter::write means that I did not link against libpcl_io.so

I checked the CMakeLists and it does link against it, so I do not know what the problem is. It would be great if anyone can help

So the problem seems to be that I compiled PCL as an external library which is unfortunately different from PCL provided by ROS.

So what did you do to fix it?

if you install ROS from source it comes with its own PCL which should work. Installing PCL as an external dependency can also work. Just make sure to compile with USE_ROS = 1

Where and how do I need to set USE_ROS=1?

Which version do you want to compile? Is 1.6.0 ok for you? Then you can use the PCL provided by ROS and you can just catkin_make_isolated it without any change. If 1.6.0 is not acceptable, use cmake -DUSE_ROS=1 .
