cmake error: "A required package was not found"

edit

Hi,

I cloned a bitbucket respo to my catkin_ws/src folder. everything works fine until I build mabi_speedy12. The steps in the README file are the following:

$ cd ~/catkin_ws
$ catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ cd src
$ ./mabi_common/mabi_speedy12/bin/clone_deps.sh 
$  catkin build mabi_speedy12

It can build some packages but it aborts at some point as it comes across the following error:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:415 (message):
  A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:593 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
  CMakeLists.txt:142 (pkg_check_modules)

Has anyone any idea how to solve this error? I tried looking up the error online but I couldn't find anything on the matter.

Thanks in advance!
