Tested this using both the basic test case above using https://github.com/kyrofa/pcl-sru-test as well as the much-more-involved https://github.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl .
Using version 6.2.0+dfsg1-10build1 of libvtk6-dev and version 1.7.2-14build1 of libpcl-dev, both the basic test case as well as perception_pcl fail attempting to link to the system libproj. The error from the latter looks like: $ make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libproj.so', needed by '/home/ubuntu/ws/devel_isolated/pcl_ros/lib/libpcl_ros_surface.so'. Stop. When I install version 6.2.0+dfsg1-10ubuntu0.1 of libvtk6-dev and version 1.7.2-14build1.1 of libpcl-dev from xenial-proposed, libvtk6-dev also installs libproj-dev and both projects successfully link and build. Marking verification done. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-xenial ** Tags added: verification-done-xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573234 Title: unable to link: cannot find libvtkproj4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcl/+bug/1573234/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
