I've been trying to get the Point Cloud Library properly installed on my system. I would like to be able to get the basic tutorial working so that I know everything is correct and I can move on.
This has so far been a case of dealing with problem after problem of which this is the latest.
When I run cmake it errors and outputs:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.9.3
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.9.3
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (find_package):
By not providing "FindPCL.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "PCL", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "PCL" (requested
version 1.3) with any of the following names:
PCLConfig.cmake
pcl-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "PCL" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "PCL_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "PCL" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I've installed PCL v1.8 from the Ubuntu repository but I've also installed python-vtk because it provides the package libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets which removes an error I was facing previously (see here). Installation of python-vtk I believe removes some of the packages bundled in libpcl-dev (PCL v1.8); I don't know whether this is relevant to the issue.
I'm not 100% sure that PCLConfig.cmake or pcl-config.cmake are even on my system. Maybe there has been an issue with the installation?
Any help is much appreciated!
