build failed with glog_catkin

[dan9thsense]

I am trying to use maplab on a Jetson TX2, Unbunt 16.04, ROS kinetic. I noted the other thread for AMR devices:
#7

but I thought I'd see if a more recent try would work. Perhaps the best answer is to try the experimental build suggested at the end of that thread. I'll post what I got here, perhaps it will be useful.

I followed the installation steps but the build fails at glog_catkin, with this error:

Errors << glog_catkin:make /home/nvidia/maplab_ws/logs/glog_catkin/build.make.001.log
/home/nvidia/maplab_ws/build/glog_catkin/glog_src-prefix/src/glog_src/missing: Unknown --is-lightweight' option Try /home/nvidia/maplab_ws/build/glog_catkin/glog_src-prefix/src/glog_src/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: 'missing' script is too old or missing
./config.guess: unable to guess system type

I tried the suggestion to look at the glog_missing --help output but it was not informative.

Here is the output of catkin config:
