Subject: [ros-users] best practice to install PCL in ROS
Hi there,

could anyone please tell us what is the best (recommended) way to
install PCL under ROS?
We normally follow the instructions given on
http://www.ros.org/wiki/perception_pcl which are made to check out the
trunk version of PCL
(http://svn.pointclouds.org/ros/trunk/perception_pcl/pcl/) but that
trunk does not seem to have e.g. visualization library and some other
components such as e.g. "pcl/console/*".
In addition we've also noticed lately Radu suggesting installing PCL
standalone when users reported having problems with PCL in ROS - but
that can then not be used in ROS right?

We would very much appreciate if someone could elaborate on this a bit. Thanks.

On behalf of interns at Bosch, D.
