Revision history [back]

It sounds like you're heading in the right direction by finding a libeigen3-dev to use. I suspect most of the code that uses eigen won't be backwards-compatible to older versions of eigen.

It sounds like you can manually tell rosdep that libeigen3 is installed according to https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosdep/issues/15
