Can this be run on ROS Melodic?

[ssr-diaries]

I have tested this package on ROS Kinetic and works perfectly fine after solving some errors through the steps followed in the issues tab here.

But, I am trying to test it on ROS Melodic as that's what I am mainly working with and when I catkin_make. The following error appears:

Is there any way to solve this? Is there a way to run packages built for ROS Kinetic on ROS Melodic?

Would love the opinion of the author of this package as well!

Thanks in Advance!

I add #include && #include <tf/transform_broadcaster.h> into turtlebot_rrt.cc, which solved my error like yours.
random
tf/transform_broadcaster.h
I'm too unskilled with github :(

Hey me as well! catkin_make worked when I added those 2 lines on turtlebot_rrt.cc. But I, get this error when I roslaunch:

Did you get it or know how to solve this?

I've also missed the problem. For me, I found the turtlebot3_gazebo package was missed. Then I run

sudo apt install ros-melodic-turtlebot3-*

this command helps me install all packages related to turtlebot3 including turtlebot3_gazebo.
I've also modified rrt_plannner.launch. It seems that turtlebot has upgraded when ros was updated to melodic from kinetic. I can only see "turtlebot3_gazebo" but not "turtlebot_gazebo".
In file rrt_plannner.launch, I changed "turtlebot _gazebo" to "turtlebot3_gazebo" like below:

<include file="$(find turtlebot3_gazebo)/launch/includes/$(arg base).launch.xml">
    <arg name="base" value="$(arg base)"/>
    <arg name="stacks" value="$(arg stacks)"/>
    <arg name="3d_sensor" value="$(arg 3d_sensor)"/>
</include>

I thought I had solved this problem, but when I run follow command

roslaunch turtlebot_rrt rrt_plannner.launch

I got the below error message:

roslaunch turtlebot_rrt rrt_planner.launch

RLException: while processing /opt/ros/melodic/share/turtlebot3_gazebo/launch/includes/kobuki.launch.xml:

The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

I changed directory to /opt/ros/melodic/share/turtlebot3_gazebo/launch, and I didn't find the directory "include". I think turtlebot3_gazebo must have updated its file layouts. For this project, we could not find the launch file this way.

I think this is a gap when you want to migrate turtlebot_rrt to melodic. It will be nice of you if you could fix this.
