Deprecated!!!

GraspIt! now has an install target, and can be installed via

git clone https://github.com/graspit-simulator/graspit.git
cd graspit
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j5
sudo make install

So this repo provides no benefit as GraspIt! no longer needs to be included in each ros workspace.

graspit-ros
