Issue with pcl library while executing catkin_make- vtkFiltersParallelDIY2_AutoInit_Construct

[ashwinjoseph95]

Hi,
I was following the instructions to setup the tool using the instructions on https://koide3.github.io/direct_visual_lidar_calibration/installation/

Environment: Ubuntu 20.04 + ROS Noetic

After dealing successfully with the dependencies setup, I went ahead with the catkin_make command for direct_visual_lidar_calibration. I am getting some pcl library related undefined reference issues. Any help regarding how to fix it would be very helpful. Thank you.
My log looks like:

What is the version of PCL, and how you installed it (via apt?)?
