Cmake linking problem against serial library

edit

Hello everyone, I am having a little bit of trouble making the following work in ROS. The problem is the following:

• I am writing a library to control a probe which communicates through serial. Hence, I thought I would use this serial library: http://wiki.ros.org/serial
• The serial library was installed using $ sudo apt-get install ros-jade-serial and works correctly since another test I made used it successfully (just including it in a subscriber node that listened to a boolean msg and triggered a simple serial communication).
• rospack find serial works and outputs the following: /opt/ros/jade/share/serial

• The file structure is the following:

  ~/catkin_ws/src/fingertip/src/Probe.cpp

  ~/catkin_ws/src/fingertip/src/probe_test.cpp

  ~/catkin_ws/src/fingertip/include/Probe.h

Probe.h

#ifndef __PROBE_H__
#define __PROBE_H__

#include <serial/serial.h>

class Probe
{
    private:
        serial::Serial my_serial;
    public:
        Probe();
        ~Probe();
};
#endif

Probe.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <Probe.h>


Probe::Probe (void)
{
  my_serial.setPort("/dev/ttyUSB1");
  my_serial.setBaudrate(9600);
  serial::Timeout to = serial::Timeout::simpleTimeout(1000);
  my_serial.setTimeout(to);
  my_serial.open();
}

Probe::~Probe(void)
{
  my_serial.close();
}

probe_test.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <Probe.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    Probe my_probe;      //Creat an object by using class Probe
    return 0;
}

So, as you can see, a very bare bones code for now. I've read the documentation on CMake both here and here but I can't figure out why this is not working. Apparently this is not a problem of linking the library I made, but finding the serial package. This is the output of my catkin_make command:
