On the robot, or the driver station? Because if driver station, keep in mind rule G21:

During AUTO, DRIVE TEAMS must not directly or indirectly interact with ROBOTS or OPERATOR CONSOLES.
VIOLATION: FOUL and YELLOW CARD

FIRST salutes the creative and innovative ways in which Teams have interacted with their ROBOTS during AUTO in previous seasons, making the AUTO period more of a hybrid period due to indirect interaction with the OPERATOR CONSOLE. The RECYCLE RUSH AUTO Period, however, is meant to be truly autonomous and ROBOT or OPERATOR CONSOLE interaction (such as through webcam or Kinect™) are prohibited.

we mean to use the Kinect as 3D camera

you have to utilize the libfreenect library in order to interface with the kinect. If you go to our code, cmastudios made grabbing the rgb, ir, and depth map from the kinect into one line of code.

https://github.com/rr1706/vision2015/tree/master/lib the files are free.cpp and free.hpp.

The rgb image is obviously in color (RGB), the ir is in grayscale, and the depth is an interesting type of image, it is grayscale where pixel values are a representation of depth.

I get the error for a couple more packages too, that is just an example. I think that all the problems i'm having are with open CV so i think i will reflash ubuntu and try again, this time compiling openCV myself.

It could be a factor of the repositories you have enabled... check /etc/apt/sources.list
