no match for 'operator==' error

[k-ish0212]

I've encountered such an error when compiling ros2 humble. It looks rcputils::fs::path operator error but the operator seems compiled through colcon build.

Does anyone know how to solve it? Thank you.

Based on your file paths, I'm guessing you're trying to build Humble in a 20.04 container which I am doing too and I saw the exact same error. It was because I forgot to remove the Foxy versions of packages on the AMENT_PREFIX_PATH. So I believe pluginlib was compiling against the wrong version of rcpputils.
