Install error

[LongfeiProjects]

Hello,

I was trying to install and use moveit_visual_tools package. Though I have Eigen3 installed under "/usr/include/eigen3", I failed with following error message:

By not providing "FindEigen3.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Eigen3", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Eigen3" with any of the following names:

Eigen3Config.cmake eigen3-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "Eigen3" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Eigen3_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Eigen3" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

To fix this error, I followed the instruction here: https://github.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl/issues/106

After modify the CmakeLists file, I got the following error:

Do you have any idea on a quick fix?

what ROS version?

Hello, I am running on a Ubuntu 14.04, and attached the version information from "roscore":

• /rosdistro: indigo
• /rosversion: 1.11.20

[davetcoleman]

i believe you are using the kinetic-branch of rviz_visual_tools, which will not work with ROS indigo

[davetcoleman]

fyi if you still want to use a newer version of MVT with an older version of ROS, here's the diff to your CMakeLists for the kinetic-devel branch:

-find_package(Eigen3 REQUIRED)
+find_package(PkgConfig)
+pkg_search_module(Eigen3 REQUIRED eigen3)
