package 'openni-dev' not found

[libing64]

In fact, I have installed libopenni-dev and libopenni2-dev, but it always said "package openni-dev not found".

my ros version: indigo

Please provide reproducible scenario, and the full length output. I suspect otherwise very few people can try tracking down the issue you're seeing.

If the laser_scan_matcher is added to the black list, then the scan_tools can be compiled successfully. -DCATKIN_BLACKLIST_PACKAGES="laser_scan_matcher"

Please provide reproducible scenario,

By this I meant the commands you used.

Anyways, without fully knowing your conditions and thus not being able to replicate the issue, what if you run:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y

and then build again?

(I don't know if ~/catkin_ws/scan_tools works. I thought Catkin look for source only in src folder.)

BTW, you know binary for scan_tools is available right? sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-scan-tools.

[libing64]

@130s Thanks for your kind reply. Here is the commands I used. cd ~/catkin_ws git clone xxx rosdep install --from-paths scan_tools --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y catkin_make --source scan_tools I know ros-indigo-scan-tools exits, but I need to modify the code so I should compile from source.

git clone xxx

What URL did you use? Please share exactly what you do as much as possible.

And assuming the URL in, I just did the following that builds fine.

cd ~/catkin_ws/
rm -fr build/ devel/
git clone https://github.com/ccny-ros-pkg/scan_tools
rosdep install --from-paths scan_tools --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y
catkin_make --source scan_tools

So again, we need the list of full, exact commands you use.

@130s "git clone xxx" means git clone https://github.com/ccny-ros-pkg/scan_tools

I see. As in https://github.com/ccny-ros-pkg/scan_tools/issues/47#issuecomment-209558058, I'm not able to reproduce your issue. And I now suspect your issue may or may not be scan_tools specific. I suggest you asking on http://answers.ros.org/ and paste the link to your question here so that we can join.

After installing ros-indigo-csm, the problem is solved. sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-csm

After installing ros-indigo-csm, the problem is solved. sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-csm

That must have been taken care of if you ran rosdep command I mentioned earlier.

Maybe sharing your output of rosdep install --from-paths scan_tools --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y without ros-indigo-csm installed helps (if you still like to track down the issue).
