catkin_make with common_msgs as a dependency

I want to use some of the common_msgs in a ROS node I'm working on so used catkin_create_pkg with common_msgs as a dependency (Similar to what is done in the simple publisher subscriber with std_msgs) I get the following error when running catkin_make -- Could not find the required component 'common_msgs'. The following CMake error indicates that you either need to install the package with the same name or change your environment so that it can be found. CMake Error at /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "common_msgs" with any of the following names: common_msgsConfig.cmake common_msgs-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "common_msgs" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "common_msgs_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "common_msgs" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): ZenithObstacleDetector/CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package) I made sure common_msgs is installed and used roscd to enter it. It only contains a package.xml file. Here's the package I'm working on [https://github.com/iscumd/ZenithObstacleDetector](https://github.com/iscumd/ZenithObstacleDetector) I've commented out the find common_msgs so it builds Here's the workspace [https://github.com/iscumd/Zenith2017/tree/master/catkin_ws](https://github.com/iscumd/Zenith2017/tree/master/catkin_ws)
