I'm using ubunto 10.10 and trying to install the kinect drivers. I got as far as sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-openni-kinect hg clone https://kforge.ros.org/openni/drivers cd drivers make make install

but make install runs for a while then fails. Here are the last few linessudo cp -f ./openni/lib/.so /usr/lib/ sudo cp -f ./openni/lib/.xml /etc/primesense/ sudo cp -r ./openni/include/ni/* /usr/include/openni/ sudo cp -f ./openni/bin/ni* /usr/bin/ sudo /bin/bash ./CONTROL/openni_postinst postinst called with unknown argument `' make: * [install_openni] Error 1

how do I fix it? Thanks

You only need to install either via packages or from source. So if sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-openni-kinect ran without errors, its already done.

DUHH! Thanks, that makes sense. When I run it I get an error

How do I know what file or directory is missing? It still kinda works, but is so slow it is about useless. I'm assuming it is my graphics card that is causing it.I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 and it has an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Any idea if this is good enough?

Thanks

I moved the video card question to a seperate question. Anybody have an idea about the missing file or directory? It might not have anything to do with my issue, but the fewer errors the better.
