Which ROS distribution are you using? From the problem you ran into I
assume you're building octomap_mapping trunk against electric.

There are two binary versions of the octomap_mapping stack, one for
diamondback and one for electric. Those are built from two different
source versions. The change you observed concerning CollisionObject is
the reason why there are different branches required. Check the
"releases" page of the stack for details:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/octomap_mapping/Releases

trunk of octomap_mapping currently builds with diamondback, while the
"octomap_mapping-unstable" branch builds with ROS unstable and electric.

To save you all the hassle - just rely on the released binary packages
if you're using Ubuntu ;)

Best,
Armin
