rosmake ccny_rgbd_tools error in fuerte ubuntu 12.04

[nishit727]

I am new to ros and want to work on visual odometry. I installed the ccny_rgbd_tools package as per the intructions given. When I run the "rosmake ccny_rgbd_tools" command the following error comes:

... ... [rosmake-5] Finished <<< tf_conversions ROS_NOBUILD in package tf_conversions

I changed the permission of the ccny_rgbd_tools folder to 777. But it still shows the above error.

I have been stuck on this for few days. Please suggest how to work around this.

Got it fixed. I needed to own the directory. But now I have a bunch of new errors. :(
