I’ve been following the process for Human Reconstruction in Isaac Sim Running the Demonstration Scene in Isaac Sim, using the nvblox packages.
Following is the Documentation link

Up until step 4, the setup and execution were proceeding without any issues.
The command executed at this stage was:
Step 4 command:
cd /workspaces/isaac_ros-dev &&
colcon build --symlink-install &&
source install/setup.bash
However, the build process encountered a critical error during the compilation of the isaac_ros_benchmark package. The error message indicated a missing file:

Following this, attempting to proceed to step 5 with the command:
Step 5 command:
ros2 launch nvblox_examples_bringup isaac_sim_humans_example.launch.py
Error:
Package ‘nvblox_examples_bringup’ not found: “package ‘nvblox_examples_bringup’ not found, >searching: [‘/opt/ros/humble’]”
This seems to mirror the issue discussed in this forum post, suggesting a possible similar error pattern.
Forum post link:
Difficulty Locating the nvblox_examples_bringup Package for Dynamic Reconstruction in Isaac Sim
Error Image:
I’m looking for insights or solutions that might address both the missing file during the isaac_ros_benchmark build and the inability to locate the nvblox_examples_bringup package. Any assistance or shared experiences with similar issues would be greatly appreciated.
