Hey,

Did you install the SDF library according to the README.md?

from ed.

Ya I installed libsdformat4-dev.

from ed.

Could please provide more information about your system?

Please include the version info of libsdformat4-dev (use apt-cache policy)

Hi, sorry for the delay.
I am using:
Ubuntu 16.04
ROS-Kinetic
libsdformat4-dev:
Installed: 4.0.0-1ubuntu2
Candidate: 4.0.0-1ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 4.0.0-1ubuntu2 500
500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

from ed.

The SDF library is too old. As mentioned in the README, you need minimal 4.4. Please follow the instructions in the README to get a newer version.

from ed.

Alright got it. Thank you. I will try this and let you know.

Followed the steps in ReadMe. But still getting the error. Looks like I need to switch to the newer version. But I do not know how.

sudo apt-get upgrade libsdformat4-dev?

Same place. Different error now.

Can you confirm that you now do have 4.4.0? Please clean your workspace and build your workspace again.

@Pranav24-8 I assume your problem has been solved.
