catkin_make failed!

[cgdsss]

When I use the catkin_make to compile cartographer_ros, the errors is reported as below:

Can someone help me? Thank you very much.

UBUNTU 16.04 + ros kinetic

[ZhouYixuanRobtic]

There's a official install process recommended. I've installed cartographer right under its instruction with UBUNTU 16.04 + ROS kinetic.Hope it's' helpful

[cgdsss]

@ZhouYixuanRobtic thank you！ I will try. But I still want to know where I was wrong.

- git: {local-name: cartographer, uri: 'https://github.com/googlecartographer/cartographer.git', version: '1.0.0'}
- git: {local-name: cartographer_ros, uri: 'https://github.com/googlecartographer/cartographer_ros.git', version: '1.0.0'}
- git: {local-name: ceres-solver, uri: 'https://ceres-solver.googlesource.com/ceres-solver.git', version: '1.13.0'}

Using the specified version of the code, smoothly compile and pass.

#964 is not merged yet in cartographer_ros, while the corresponding PR in cartographer was merged. This is why you could not get master to compile.
