Hi, I am trying to execute the sample programs available in pcl tutorials. I am getting following error while building with catkin_make. Cmakelists and sample code is attaxhed below.

CMake lists:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(pcl_ros_tutorial)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  pcl_conversions
  pcl_ros
  roscpp
  sensor_msgs
)

find_package(PCL 1.3 REQUIRED)
include_directories(${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${PCL_LIBRARY_DIRS})
add_definitions(${PCL_DEFINITIONS})

add_executable(example src/example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_COMMON_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_IO_LIBRARIES})

include_directories(
# include
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

example.cpp

    #include <ros/ros.h>
    // PCL specific includes
    #include <sensor_msgs/PointCloud2.h>
    #include <pcl_conversions/pcl_conversions.h>
    #include <pcl/point_cloud.h>
    #include <pcl/point_types.h>

    ros::Publisher pub;

   void 
   cloud_cb (const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr& input)
   {
     // Create a container for the data.
     sensor_msgs::PointCloud2 output;

     output = *input;

     // Publish the data.
     pub.publish (output);
   }

   int
   main (int argc, char** argv)
   {
     // Initialize ROS
     ros::init (argc, argv, "my_pcl_tutorial2");
     ros::NodeHandle nh;

     // Create a ROS subscriber for the input point cloud
     ros::Subscriber sub = nh.subscribe ("input", 1, cloud_cb);

     // Create a ROS publisher for the output point cloud
     pub = nh.advertise<sensor_msgs::PointCloud2> ("output", 1);

     // Spin
     ros::spin ();
   }

Error:

On my system, your CMakeLists.txt and example.cpp build fine as you posted them (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, ROS Kinetic Kame, all dependencies from the Ubuntu and/or ROS repositories and tested in a new package "pcl_ros_tutorial" in my usual workspace).

@Maarten Did you install pcl seperately in Ubuntu..other than ros dependencies?

I installed the ros-kinetic-pcl-ros package, which depends on libpcl-dev and other libpcl packages. I think you have a problem with your workspace and/or package configuration. Does it work in a new workspace and package?
