Revision history [back]

The first error is with nodelet_tutorial_math:

It appears that it is not linking against class_loader correctly.

I created a ticket:

https://github.com/ros/common_tutorials/issues/3

Next is orocos_kdl, which appears to be missing a link against CppUnit:

    NOTE: a missing vtable usually means the first non-inline virtual member function has no definition.

In this case I would suggest you ensure you have cppunit installed and try building orocos_kdl by itself (rosmake orocos_kdl).

Finally there is rviz_plugin_tutorials, which seems to have some c++ which clang is not happy with:

I filed a ticket:

Finally, I would say that you don't need any of these packages, the two tutorial packages obviously need to be updated, and orocos_kdl should be removed as it has been replaced by a newer catkin version of the package. I just now removed it from the list of dry (rosbuild) packages to be downloaded as part of the source installation, so in the future this version of orocos_kdl will not even be downloaded.
