catkin_make error

[tegg89]

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and kinetic for ROS version. As the documents, I cloned it and catkin_make. At first, it recommends using catkin_make_isolated command instead. The followings are error messages:

Either remove the CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles directory or choose a different binary directory.

Reproduce this error by running:

Command failed, exiting.

I am a novice to SLAM and ROS. Is there any solution for this issue?

Thanks in advance.
