  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "libpointmatcher"

  Add the installation prefix of "libpointmatcher" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
  set "libpointmatcher_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.
  If "libpointmatcher" provides a separate development package or SDK, be
  sure it has been installed.

From the error, it seems like it is missing libpointmatcher package, is it this one ethz-asl /libpointmatcher or am I doing something wrong ?

Hi, thank you for the message. We updated just today the repos. The command vcs import --recursive --input https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ETHZ-RobotX/SuperMegaBot/master/smb.repos . should solve the issue. Execute this command in the folder ~/catkin_ws/src

I assume this issue is resolved by @daBaret's comment. Feel free to re-open when necessary.
