Mike,
rosmake has a -t option which will test a package.  It is just calling make
on all dependent packages then make test on the package(s) requested.

In terms of the actual error, it's a compile error.  I would highly
recommend that you not use trunk of anything that you are not involved in
actively developing.  Compile errors are not uncommon on trunk and if you're
not interested in tracking them down and providing patches/opening tickets a
released version will be much better for you.  Something like
https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/point_cloud_perception/tags/cturtlewould
likely be better.
