When I make(using rosmake) the PCL visualizer tutorial - (http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcl_visualizer.php#pcl-visualizer) I get this error-
/opt/ros/fuerte/include/pcl-1.5/pcl/visualization/common/common.h:39:24: fatal error: vtkCommand.h: No such file or directory
It seems that ros is unable to find vtk modules. Can anyone help?
Ok I found the answer. I explicitly added the vtk modules and libraries to CMakeList and it worked fine. I added the two following lines at the end
include_directories(/usr/include/vtk-5.8)
target_link_libraries(pcl_viz ${PCL_LIBRARIES} libvtkCommon.so libvtkFiltering.so libvtkRendering.so)
here pcl_viz is my executable
I would prefer that ros take care of these things as in the standalone PCL
hi gpsinghsandhu, i have the same problem. i tried adding to CMakeLists as u mentioned. i get an error :-Cannot specify link libraries for target "pcl_tutorial" which is not built by this project.In ur case pcl_viz is the name of your package or the node(program.cpp)??a detailed qn s my account,HELP
here it is :-http://answers.ros.org/question/49978/package-using-pcl-make-error/
Please pour in ur suggestions for this another question at : http://answers.ros.org/question/50146/mapping-between-pointcloud-and-image/
This fixes the issue for me perfectly! Thanks! This issue is still present in ROS Groovy on Ubuntu Raring 64bit.
I had the same problem with visualization (ROS FUERTE, Ubuntu 12.04LTS). It seems to be some dependency missing with the ros-pcl version. What I did, I removed PCL from ros (sudo apt-get remove ros-fuerte-pcl) and downloaded the PCL version from the website (trunk, in my case) and build it with "USE_ROS true" (important to use USE_ROS, or you will get some reference errors. Dunno why)
Than I simply removed the pcl and ros_pcl from the manifest.xml and used the standard CMakeList.txt method to include PCL. In my case,
find_package(PCL 1.5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS segmentation filters visualization)
include_directories(${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${PCL_LIBRARY_DIRS})
add_definitions(${PCL_DEFINITIONS})
and finally
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${PCL_LIBRARIES} )
Works perfectly, also with visualization.
Please look at this link. http://www.pcl-users.org/How-to-integrate-PCL-with-ROS-as-an-external-library-td4026185.html#a4026213
You appear to be using ROS Fuerte. What OS are you running?
On my Fuerte/Oneiric system, that header is defined in libvtk5-dev.
What does this return?

$ rosdep check visualization_common
EDIT: That tutorial is for standalone PCL, not for PCL with ROS. It does not say to build using rosmake, because that would not work. For that tutorial follow the directions for "Compiling and running the program".

Yes I am using Fuerte on ubuntu precise The command returned---All system dependencies have been satisified I also checked for libvtk5-dev which is installed on my system. Is there a way to directly link libraries like libvtk5-dev using CMakeLists.txt which may help me. And thanks for your response
Also i don't know how to comment joq's answers so i just commented here. No post a comment link on your answer
You can edit your own question, often a good idea.
