Can you give me an advice? Thank you.

Hi, unfortunately we currently only support ROS2 humble. And the build is not expected succeed with ROS 2 Foxy.

You can modify isaac_ros_nvblox to work around this build error, but you may face more issues.

Also in ROS 2 foxy, you will not be able to use NITROS since it depends on type_adaptation that was introduced in ROS 2 humble.

Thank you. I successfully build it by using ROS2 humble
