Revision history [back]

I recently came across the same problem (On Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid with ros fuerte), and managed to resolve the issue as follows:

First install openni_camera and openni_launch:

$ sudo apt-get install openni_camera $ sudo apt-get install openni_launch

Now, the problem with this appears to be as on ht.tp://www.ros.org/wiki/openni#Fuerte_migration_guide, except I had trouble actually getting openni-dev and ps-engine to install. What I ended up doing was to first copy openni_camera and openni_launch:

$ roscd openni_camera $ cd .. $ sudo cp -r openni_camera openni_camera_backup $ sudo cp -r openni_launch openni_launch_backup

Then I installed openni-dev and ps-engine (this will tell you that it is going to delete openni_camera and openni_launch! This is expected, say yes):

$ sudo apt-get install openni-dev $ sudo apt-get install ps-engine

Then restore from your backups:

$ sudo mv openni_camera_backup openni_camera $ sudo mv openni_launch_backup openni_launch $ roscd openni_camera

Now follow the steps at ht.tp://www.ros.org/wiki/openni#Fuerte_migration_guide (edit manifest.xml and Cmakelists.txt, in manifest.xml, remove the line '<rosdep name="libopenni-dev"/>').

$ rosmake

The depth registration image should now work. The basic idea was that you wanted openni_camera to use openni-dev instead of libopenni-dev, but you can't install openni-dev with apt-get without uninstalling openni-camera simultaneously.
