Building problem: A required package was not found

I tried install to s300 library(cob_sick_s300) on ros kinetic and I've been stuck on the cmake step.

Here the full log, do you have an idea ?

Solution

Try the following code.

sudo apt-get install libvlccore-dev
sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev

By right, this should give you the vlc library needed.

If still can not find, then high chance you did sth in .bashrc or PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment setting.
