hello! I also meet the same problem.
It seems like fixed in following way.
Please locate your ROS workspace firstly.
In my robot, the ros workspace is /turtlebot_ws
re-init your workspace as following cammand :

$ cd ~/turtlebot_ws/src
$ catkin_init_workspace

$ cd ~/turtlebot_ws/
$ catkin_make

Then, please check rplidar performance by following command:
$ roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar.launch
In my robot , the problem fixed.
I hope it will help you.
Have a nice day!

Hi, I tried this method but it did not work.
When I do catkin_make the node.cpp and client.cpp are not made executable....
Any suggestions how to resolve this..
