Issue Building Drake with ROS

[cirpote]

Ciao,

I am trying to build drake with ROS Kinetic on my laptop (with Ubuntu 16.04) following your guide, Building Drake as a Catkin Package in ROS but i get this error:

This error happens after the first tentative of building since there is no VTK5 installed on my laptop and i need to build it directly from source. Following your guide i to set -DUSE_SYSTEM_VTK=OFF -DWITH_VTK=ON, but actually both flags do not exist and are not settable.

Recompiling i get again the above error.

Hi @cirpote, which commit SHA are you using? I just want to confirm you're using the latest version of Drake. You can view the SHA by executing:

git log -1 --format="%H"

I am using this version:

80b0dfe

I'll try to replicate the error later this morning. I suspect #6476 may be related.

You would need to switch WITH_DIRECTOR=OFF.

Now it's working! thanks a lot
