Hi,

after I git clone the rotors_simulator package, and I try to run catkin_make, I get the following error:

How to fix that?
Thanks alot for any help!

I have come across this problem long ago, too. Simply remove cmake_module package from the find_package macro call in the CMakeLists.txt file of rotors_gazebo_plugins. If it does not suffice, there has been a thorough discussion on this specific problem for possible solutions.

Hope it helps.

I have solved this issue in the following way editing CMakeLists.txt: not sure it will helpful for you!.

find_package(gazebo REQUIRED)
if(gazebo_VERSION_MAJOR GREATER 8)
  ign_import_target(UUID)
  message(STATUS "Applying patch to ${PROJECT_NAME} to avoid error with GZ9: Target UUID::UUID not found.")
endif()
