Running catkin_make_isolated --install -j8 errors out on mushr_pf

I have been trying to get the MUSHR car working with the cartogropher to create my first map, but it all fails on the building step. To clarify - I have followed the instructions on the MUSHR website and previously had car working remotely with a joystick. After following instructions for cartogropher I am unable to finish building the whole catkin workspace with catkin_make_isolated --install -j8:

+ cd /home/robot/catkin_ws/src/mushr_pf
+ mkdir -p /home/robot/catkin_ws/install_isolated/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

<== Failed to process package 'mushr_pf':

Reproduce this error by running:
==> cd /home/robot/catkin_ws/build_isolated/mushr_pf && /home/robot/catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh make install

I have debugged the setup code, and it seems to be directly related to the values of packages and pacakge_dir variables in setup.py. When I remove those values the command succeeds, but no package is actually installed. What is the best course of action here?

Was mushr_pf building prior to installing cartographer?
