Hi Mathieu,
I have a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 + ROS Kinetic install with all updates.
I have to make some tests with stereo odometry using data from a Duo3D camera so I installed RTAB-Map from the standard ROS package with

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rtabmap-ros

then I created a simple launch file just to test if everything is working (no other nodes are running):

<launch>
    <node pkg="rtabmap_ros" type="stereo_odometry" name="stereo_odometry" output="screen"/>
<launch>

However, when I launch it, I receive the following error:

/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/rtabmap_ros/stereo_odometry: error while loading shared libraries: librtabmap_core.so.0.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
failed to start local process: /opt/ros/kinetic/lib/rtabmap_ros/stereo_odometry __name:=stereo_odometry __log:=/home/agrirobot/.ros/log/33572a9a-473b-11e6-9c2d-0001c0182df6/stereo_odometry-6.log
local launch of rtabmap_ros/stereo_odometry failed

log file: /home/agrirobot/.ros/log/33572a9a-473b-11e6-9c2d-0001c0182df6/stereo_odometry-6*.log

It seems it cannot find the rtabmap library... Wasn't it supposed to be installed together with the ROS package?

Thanks,
Guido
