Thanks for reporting this.

That should have generated a build error, not a runtime error. In fact I got a similar issue with ROS Foxy:

  "rosidl_service_type_support_t const* rosidl_typesupport_cpp::get_service_type_support_handle<std_srvs::srv::Empty>()", referenced from:
      rclcpp::Client<std_srvs::srv::Empty>::Client(rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeBaseInterface*, std::__1::shared_ptr<rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeGraphInterface>, std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > const&, rcl_client_options_t&) in sim_ros2_interface.cpp.o
      rclcpp::Service<std_srvs::srv::Empty>::Service(std::__1::shared_ptr<rcl_node_t>, std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > const&, rclcpp::AnyServiceCallback<std_srvs::srv::Empty>, rcl_service_options_t&) in sim_ros2_interface.cpp.o

which now I have fixed.

At the moment we can target only LTS releases of ROS2, so please try again with Dashing or Foxy.

No activity since long time, so I am closing this.
Reopen if this is still an issue (now only ROS2 foxy is supported).
