Hi, I’m trying to build the Universal Robots ROS Driver on ROS Melodic (Ubuntu 18.04), however, I get the following error when I try to build with catkin_make.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Using catkin build as a build system instead of catkin_make fixed a similar, but not the same, build error in my case.

Where you ever able to resolve this issue? I am getting the same thing.
