Unable to build vikit_ros - cannot find vikit_common

[ElisabethE]

Hi!

So, I try to compile vikit_ros by using catkin build. Since the catkin crew is slowly migrating to catkin build from catkin_make I thought this to be a good move.

However, when I issue the following commands, the below result happens. Please advise, it looks like vikit_common is not installed properly even though it is built properly. Is there some config option I can change?

$ catkin build vikit_common vikit_ros

Anyone fixed that already?
