Can't build with realsense "failed to create symbolic link"

[ripdk12]

Trying to follow the guide at https://github.com/NVIDIA-ISAAC-ROS/isaac_ros_common to configure run_dev.sh to build ros2 humble and realsense-ros on my jetson xavier (jetpack 5.0.2). I added the file ".isaac_ros_common_config" with just the following line:

CONFIG_IMAGE_KEY = humble.nav2.realsense

This did nothing.

I then modified the run_dev.sh script changing line 108 from "IMAGE_KEY=humble.nav2" to "IMAGE_KEY=humble.nav2.realsense".
Now librealsense builds, but when trying to call:

colcon build --symlink-install

I get the following error message:

--- stderr: realsense2_camera_msgs                              
failed to create symbolic link '/workspaces/isaac_ros-dev/build/realsense2_camera_msgs/ament_cmake_python/realsense2_camera_msgs/realsense2_camera_msgs' because existing path cannot be removed: Is a directory

make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2
---
Failed   <<< realsense2_camera_msgs [13.1s, exited with code 2]

Any solution for this? And since I'm obviously not using the ".isaac_ros_common_config" file correctly, how am i supposed to do this? All I want to do is use my D435I camera.

EDIT

Okay so i tried to just delete the folder which was causing the problem at ~/workspaces/isaac_ros-dev/build/realsense2_camera_msgs/ament_cmake_python/realsense2_camera_msgs/realsense2_camera_msgs
and was able to build the ros wrapper, which seems like it's working as intended for now.

I still really want to try to understand the syntax of the ".isaac_ros_common_config" file, as this seems much smarter than my current solution of just editing the run_dev.sh file every time.

I just realized I was being a doofus and named the config file ".isaac_ros_common_config" instead of ".isaac_ros_common-config" as stated in the documentation. Whoops.
