[hedaniel7]

Description

I followed the Getting Started Tutorial twice and produced errors when I tried catkin build . It failed twice with similar CMake Errors:

• Errors << srdfdom:cmake /home/dan/ws_moveit/logs/srdfdom/build.cmake.000.log
  CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
  Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
  Boost_INCLUDE_DIR

• Errors << rviz_visual_tools:cmake /home/dan/ws_moveit/logs/rviz_visual_tools/build.cmake.000.log (see console outputs posted later for details)

Your environment

• ROS Distro: Noetic
• OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (on Surface Book 3)

Steps to reproduce

I followed this tutorial:
https://ros-planning.github.io/moveit_tutorials/doc/getting_started/getting_started.html

Looks like you are missing a correct boost installation. Please check that!

The Boost installation seemed fine. I even reinstalled it and I still get the same errors

We cannot help more than pointing out possible issues. You need to check your boost installation. Verify that cmake finds the correct one. As you see from our CI build, the code works as expected.
