Could not find CMake package configuration file for "Eigen3"

Question

When I enter this command:

cd /Users/mona/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/pcl_ros && /Users/mona/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh cmake /Users/mona/ros_catkin_ws/src/perception_pcl/pcl_ros -DCATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX=/Users/mona/ros_catkin_ws/devel_isolated/pcl_ros -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/mona/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G 'Unix Makefiles'

I receive this error:

-- Boost version: 1.58.0
-- Found the following Boost libraries:
--   system
--   filesystem
--   thread
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindEigen3.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Eigen3", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Eigen3" with any
  of the following names:

    Eigen3Config.cmake
    eigen3-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Eigen3" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Eigen3_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Eigen3"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/Users/mona/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/pcl_ros/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

This command is ran as part of running this command for installing ROS:

./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Any idea how that could be fixed?

For linux users, this may help like it did for me: just install the developers' package of the eigen3 lib by the following command.

sudo apt install libeigen3-dev

You have to install Eigen3. It provides the FindEigen3.cmake file. The error occurs because the project you want to configure, has a dependency to Eigen3.

If you have Eigen3 installed, follow the error message and add Eigen3 to CMake's search path.

Hi, can you please provide me with more detail like the command for installing the Eigen3? I installed the tar.gz file from eigen site and followed the items told to me in INSTALL file but yet can figure it out. You can read more on what I did here. Any help is really appreciated. http://answers.ros.org/question/215080/how-to-add-the-installation-prefix-of-eigen3-to-cmake_prefix_path-or-set-eigen3_dir-to-a-directory-containing-one-of-the-above-files/ – Mona Jalal Aug 03 '15 at 17:17
You can always manually copy the FindEigen3.cmake file in your current project. Or you can add the path to the file in your search path. – usr1234567 Sep 03 '15 at 09:48
