ceres/internal/config.h not found when including ceres.h

[bomox]

When compiling any program that includes ceres.h, there is a compilation error:
ceres/internal/config.h: No such file or directory

and indeed the file is missing.
This prevents any usage of the library.

Package Version of libceres-dev: 1.11.0~dfsg0-2

My Installation:

Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04

This happened to me several days ago. I believe this is related to upstream Debian bug #823623, which has been fixed by version "1.11.0~dfsg0-3". The new version exists in Yakkety 16.10, but I'm not sure whether it'll be backported to 16.04.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm this bug. I am currently building ceres from source since I get this error.

In case someone needs it, I managed to compile copying the config.h downloaded from the git repository in /usr/include/ceres/internal/.

To compile the following simple file:

------------------------------------
#include <ceres/ceres.h>

int main () {
    return 0;
}
------------------------------------

I used (having installed libeigen3-dev):

g++ fit.cpp -lceres -std=c++11 -I/usr/include/eigen3/
