Thank you for your help, my program is now running for the basic shapes
(Arrow, Cube, Sphere, Cylinder, as in the tutorial), but troubles come
when I want to use the TEXT_VIEW_FACING marker.

in my basic_shapes.cpp file, I replaced uint32_t shape =
visualization_msgs::Marker::CUBE by uint32_t shape =
visualization_msgs::Marker::TEXT_VIEW_FACING, and with the other
settings I added a line: marker.text="blablabla"; just to see the
result.

During the compilation, I get that kind of error: 

/.../using_markers/src/basic_shapes.cpp: In function ‘int main(int,
char**)’:
  /.../using_markers/src/using_markers/src/basic_shapes.cpp:12: error:
‘TEXT_VIEW_FACING’ is not a member of ‘visualization_msgs::Marker
  /.../using_markers/src/basic_shapes.cpp:40: error: ‘class
visualization_msgs::Marker’ has no member named ‘text’

It seems like the TEXT_VIEW_FACING is not recognized. Is it normal ? Did
I do something wrong ? Is there something to add ? Or is it just a bug ?

TIA, 

Nicolas
