catkin build compiler error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type ‘steer_drive_controller::SteerDriveController’ because the following virtual functions are pure within ‘steer_drive_controller::SteerDriveController’

Hi, I am trying to use this plugin but am having problems compiling the code. The steer_drive_controller package gives the following error:

.../steer_drive_ros/steer_drive_controller/include/steer_drive_controller/steer_drive_controller.h:42,
from /home/yl/test_ws/src/autonomous_bus/simulation/steer_drive_ros/steer_drive_controller/src/steer_drive_controller.cpp:48:

I am on the kinetic branch (but I am running gazebo 7 on ros indigo). I tried with the main branch and got the same error.
Please advise and thank you!

Best regards,

Sorry for late reply.

If you use ros indigo, plz change to indigo-devel and try build again.

Best regards
