I have a package my_lib, that contains Parameters.h in he include folder, which I need to include in another package my_main . I am following this answer to do so: https://answers.ros.org/question/2019... But I get

fatal error: my_lib/Parameters.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

when I run catkin_make. I can see Parameters.h appear successfully in catkin_ws/install/include/my_lib after I ran catkin_make install. In my_main package i did the following:

package.xml: added

<build_depend>my_lib</build_depend>
<exec_depend>my_lib</exec_depend>

CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  ...(other packages used in my_main)  
  my_lib )
find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system) 
catkin_package(INCLUDE_DIRS include
  LIBRARIES my_main 
  CATKIN_DEPENDS ...(other packages used in my_main) my_lib
  DEPENDS system_lib)
include_directories(   include  
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}  
  ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
  add_executable(my_main_node src/my_main_node.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_main_node   ${catkin_LIBRARIES} )
install(DIRECTORY
  include/${PROJECT_NAME}/   DESTINATION
  ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_INCLUDE_DESTINATION} 
  FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.h"   PATTERN

What am I missing?

I have a bit of an issue trying to figure out the best way to implement an action server with different goals. Is it an acceptable practice to use enums if goals are very different from each other or do I need to have multiple action servers? Here is a bit of a background:

I have multiple nodes that need to control arms. I have one node that controls robot arms and accepts float values to specify goals, each arm can only go up and down, left and right. For my application, I only have a few routines that arms need to follow, for example picking an object up. Those routines always send the same values to the arm controlling node. To avoid repeating sending the same set of instructions from every node when I need to pick an object up, I want to create another node that will have those routines implemented, so the other nodes only need to specify which routine they need and let the new node take care of everything else.

From what I understand (I don't have any experience with action servers, so please correct me if I am wrong), I should create an Action Server to move the arms, and the rest of the nodes will be sending goals to it. My concern is, pickup routine will be very different from drop off. I know I can use enums for different routines, and then have a switch statement in the Execute Callback, which should work fine. Are there any issues with using that approach?
