Errors on installing PCL 1.8 on Ubuntu 16.04












1














I got the executable PCL 1.8 from HERE and installed it. But when tried to run an example demo, it complaints: How to fix it?



CMake Error at /usr/share/pcl-1.8/PCLConfig.cmake:45 (message):
PCL can not be found on this machine
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/pcl-1.8/PCLConfig.cmake:774 (pcl_report_not_found)
CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

          I had the exact same error after installing from the same source. I finally tracked down the error to a wrong entry in the PCLConfig.cmake file. The PCL_ROOT variable there is beeing set to /usr/local, while the files were actually installed into /usr. Changing this variable resolved the problem for me.
