Installing from source error: tried to find library 'vtkftgl'

[droter]

Hi,

I am trying to install cob_environment_perception and am getting the following error:

-- +++ processing catkin package: 'cob_3d_visualization'
-- ==> add_subdirectory(cob_environment_perception/cob_3d_visualization)
CMake Error at /home/matt/tractor_ws/devel/share/cob_3d_mapping_common/cmake/cob_3d_mapping_commonConfig.cmake:148 (message):
Project 'cob_3d_visualization' tried to find library 'vtkftgl'. The
library is neither a target nor built/installed properly. Did you compile
project 'cob_3d_mapping_common'?

I ran rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y but it didn't install vtkftgl.

Is there another package I need to install first?

Thanks,

Matt

Not that I know, but which ROS and Ubuntu versions are you running? We currently support 14.04 with indigo and 16.04 with kinetic. Those compile well on a fresh Travis CI system, so there should not be any special activities beyond installing all dependencies.

By the way:
rosdep install --from-paths src -r -y -i
is what I usually use for installing dependencies. May your other options conflict?
