Build Error on Ubuntu 18.04 with Boost v1.65.1 #128
Description
Hello,
I'm currently trying to follow the instructions for compiling the baxter_simulator ROS package on this page: http://sdk.rethinkrobotics.com/wiki/Simulator_Installation
After running catkin_make, I get an error during compilation:

^~~~~~~~
It appears that one of the dependencies has updated to use modern C++ std::shared_ptr instead of boost::shared_ptr and it broke compilation.
