Hi, First of all I have to say that it's great to work with ROS under Debian because it just works out-of-the-box without any additional package sources.
A couple of months ago I tried to use the ros-visualization package which is not available in the Debian sources. I think there was a big Qt transition going on at that time. Since the visualization tools depend heavily on Qt, I wasn't able to build them. However, today I tried again and got the tools basically running, so maybe they could be put into a package now. During my experiments I encountered one problem: The shiboken generator wasn't able to find some include files, although they exist and the include paths are set correctly in the command line (according to the output of the generator which I attached). However, if I disable the shiboken part in the corresponding CMakeLists.txt (qt_gui_core/qt_gui_cpp/src/qt_gui_cpp_shiboken) the build succeeds and I can use tools like rqt_plot. Maybe this can be fixed, but that's beyond my knowledge. Best, Dino
