It turns out I just need to run the online_async_launch and provide posegraph map (.data and .posegraph) instead of .yaml and .pgm

Hi @mich1342 were you able to solve this problem fatal error: ceres/autodiff_manifold.h: No such file or directory i am facing the same issue while building from source

Use the correct branch for your distribution. ros2 targets rolling as is standard convention. Rolling is on 24.04 where there were API updates to Ceres 🙂

Hi @SteveMacenski Thanks For replying. Basically i wanted to use the lifecycle node implementation of the slam_toolbox that was on the current ros2 branch, as you mentioned this is only supported on 24.04. so I eventually used the old implementation of the ceres-solver from the humble branch and lifecycle implementation from the current branch. As of now it is not creating any problems. Also i faced the same #715 which i fixed
