Hi,

I tried writing a simple subscriber to /amclpose in CPP following this tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/WritingPublisherSubscriber(c++); but it doesn't work: the Callback function never seems to be called. I am setting AMCL poses through rviz, and I can see data if I use rostopic echo /amclpose, but not through the subscriber node. My code looks like this.

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/PoseStamped.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovariance.h"

void receiveAmcl(const boost::shared_ptr<const geometry_msgs::PoseWithCovariance> amcl_pose)
{
  ROS_INFO("I heard something"); // This is never printed
  //Some more code goes here, haven't included it yet
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "subscriber");
  ros::NodeHandle n;
  ros::Subscriber amcl_sub = n.subscribe<geometry_msgs::PoseWithCovariance>("amcl_pose", 100,  receiveAmcl);
  ros::spin();
  return 0;
}

It'd be helpful if you can let me know what I'm missing/doing wrong.

Thanks, Sai
