mutual information errors

I am very interested in your ergodic exploration especially using mutual information. I am able to successfully run the launch file in hte main branch. However, when I switch to the mi branch I am getting the following errors:
process[map_server-1]: started with pid [11512]

I was hoping you had a few pointers to get this running; thanks in advance.
This sounds like an issue with maybe the cmake file (it looks fine to me though) or something with catkin not finding the node. If you run ros launch and try to tab complete does it find the node? You can also look under the build directory in your workspace and see if it's there. Sometimes I run catkin clean and then rebuild when I have issues like this.
@bostoncleek You were right it was an issue with my catkin_ws. catkin clean and rebuilding resolved the issue. Thanks for the tip, I have it running now so I am going to try with my sim.
