Sounds like spinnaker might not be installed system-wide correctly. What happens if you open a fresh terminal and run Acquisition ?

[jbwurts]

From what I can tell, the Acquisiton runs correctly. The saved images are accurate, albeit dark.

Not sure what is going on, I haven't seen an issue like this before. The error still seems like it is related to the fact that catkin_make is not finding the Spinnaker SDK. Did you install it to the standard location system-wide? Did you run sudo sh install_spinnaker.sh during installation?

[jbwurts]

I ran sudo sh install_spinnaker.sh and it compiled properly.

however, I now concur that I believe the issue is with the Spinnaker SDK. Using Spinnaker-2.2.0, it appears the libacquilib.so is not created, thus catkin_make cannot link to Spinnaker SDK. I was able to correct this by going to FLIR's download archive to download and install Spinnaker-2.0.0. Using version 2.0.0, libacquilib.so is linked and able to compile. I was able to go through the next few steps in the spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver and view the camera over ROS.

Thank you!
