octomap_server nodelet missing under Hydro

edit

Hello,

1) After successfully running octomap_server as node, I would like to try running it as nodelet. If I roslaunch octomap_server octomap_mapping_nodelet.launch I get the following error:

[ERROR] [1384422211.742630096]: Failed to load nodelet [/octomap_server_nodelet] of type [octomap_server/OctomapServerNodelet]: According to the loaded plugin descriptions the class octomap_server/OctomapServerNodelet with base class type nodelet::Nodelet does not exist.

Looking at the contents of /opt/ros/hydro/share/octomap_server, I can see that there is no nodelet_plugins.xml file in there. I am using the latest octomap_server binary package that comes with Hydro. The dev version, however, does contain the nodelet definition file, see https://github.com/OctoMap/octomap_mapping/tree/hydro-devel/octomap_server/plugins

2) When cloning https://github.com/OctoMap/octomap_mapping.git into my workspace and compiling it with catkin_make, I get this "no matching function" error:

In file included from /home/ros/catkin_ws/src/octomap_mapping/octomap_server/src/OctomapServerMultilayer.cpp:30: /opt/ros/hydro/include/pcl_conversions/pcl_conversions.h: In function ‘void pcl_conversions::fromPCL(const PointIndices&, pcl_msgs::PointIndices&)’: /opt/ros/hydro/include/pcl_conversions/pcl_conversions.h:265:37: error: no matching function for call to ‘fromPCL(const _header_type&, pcl_msgs::PointIndices_<std::allocator<void> >::_header_type&)’

@AHornung:Any idea what is broken here?

Cheers
