catkin build failed about rpg_svo_example

Hi @dunfrey,

I have had a similar problem. It seems like the point cloud library is missing in your ros installation. Install it via:

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-pcl-ros
(note that you may want to replace kinetic by your ros distribution here)

Then, remove the svo_install_overlay_ws folder and follow the install instructions from scratch. This did the job for me.

Also, in your case, Eigen seems to be missing. Usually, this is caused by the way Eigen is organized in your /usr/local/include directory. Can you find /usr/local/include/eigen3? If not, install Eigen. If so, you can try an create a symlink like so:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/eigen3/Eigen /usr/local/include/

Hope it helps.

In my case, while installing SVO 2.0 in Ubuntu 16.04, the error message below happened:
fatal error: pcl_ros/point_cloud.h: No such file or directory

After I installed 'ros-kinetic-pcl-ros', removed previous installation folders and then installed again from the beginning as the 'install.pdf' it succeeded in install.

Some more info for install:

1. When the './fix_path.sh' command is executed, there happened following three warnings. But it can be ignored as written in 'install.pdf'.
   grep: install/include/opengv/test: No such file or directory
   grep: install/include/opengv/test: No such file or directory
   grep: install/include/opengv/test: No such file or directory

2. In the 'install.pdf' there is a mistype of 'cd' as below:
   cd -r /rpg_svo_example ~/svo_install_overlay_ws/src
   The 'cd' should be changed 'cp' as below:
   cp -r /rpg_svo_example ~/svo_install_overlay_ws/src

3. When downloading 'svo_test_short.bag' file, so many time as about 5 minutes should be waited for starting download though it appears as stopped. Such a long waiting also happened in downloading SVO 2.0 bianary file (http://rpg.ifi.uzh.ch/svo2/svo_binaries_1604_kinetic.zip).
