this is on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit

[felixendres]

Are you using ROS kinetic and accordingly the kinetic branch of rgbdslam?

[akosmaroy]

I seem to be using indigo:

$ echo $ROS_DISTRO
indigo

[felixendres]

I didn't know that works on 16.04. Anyway I haven't encountered the problem. Googling it hints to a conflict between specific versions of qt and boost. So you'd have to go to qt5 or up/downgrade to another boost version. You may try the kinetic branch of rgbdslam_v2, it should work with indigo (I haven't tested that though). The installation process is different, so make sure to follow the instructions in the README in that branch.

[ahundt]

fyi indigo doesn't support 16.04, only kinetic does

[LuisSerna]

had the same error and was solved with this line in the CMakeList include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
