As @joq says, this is a common problem.

However, it's such a common problem that we've (sort of) fixed it. Install the ros-fuerte-perception-pcl-unstable package. This adds pcl16 and pcl16_ros packages that track PCL 1.6 (not quite to PCL 1.6.0 yet; I haven't had the chance to bump the version lately; soon!).

The namespacing, filenames, and everything else have been changed from pcl to pcl16, so you'll need to make some minor changes to your code. For example, pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZRGB> becomes pcl16::PointCloud<pcl16::PointXYZRGB>. Doing it this way lets the two PCL versions coexist nicely.
