I am just trying to run pcd_viewer but things crash. Both in Groovy and Fuerte. However, I just install libpcl, then run /usr/bin/pcd_viewer, things just work.

I would really want to just use version in ROS but it is crashing on these machines.

$ /opt/ros/fuerte/bin/pcd_viewer training/scissors_1_2_100.pcd
The viewer window provides interactive commands; for help, press 'h' or 'H' from within the window.

could you try with anyother pcd file which has just x, y, z?

tried whole lot of PCD files but didn't help at all. Problem is that it works fine when I use standalone PCL not ROS PCL.

I am not sure but if you want this to work with ROS , you have to change some settings in CMakeLists.txt like ROS is ON for PCL or something, then compile, pls correct me if i m wrong

PCL can be linked to ROS as an external library with visualizations running too. I guess that you have problem with the VTK visualization library.

First try this,

Add these in CMakeLists of your ROS PACKAGE

include_directories(/usr/include/vtk-5.8)

target_link_libraries(pcl_viz ${PCL_LIBRARIES} libvtkCommon.so libvtkFiltering.so libvtkRendering.so)

Here pcl_viz is the executable..

Next you can through the small tips at this link
