Require Help using ROSARIA

edit

Hi Puneeth, Actually i installed the ROSARIA with some difficulty couple of months back in my desktop (with diamondback). Now i am using another system (with electric) where i managed to install ROSARIA today to check your errors.

Here is the procedure that i followed First configure the workspace of ROS with the help of the following tutorials. Do not use the main installation stack path which is /opt/ros/electric.. http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment

Check with the following command to see if the new workspace appears with the following command.

echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

And after configuring go into your new workspace and checkout the amor-ros-pkg, wg-ros-pkg, ros-pkg manually to it. (I see some issues with the rosinstall way of installation so i do it this way) For amor-ros-pkg

hg clone https://amor-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/hg hg

For wg-ros-pkg (where you don't need all packages that are their in this repo)

a) For teleop_base

svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/branches/trunk_cturtle/sandbox/teleop_base teleop_base

b) For control_toolbox

svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/stacks/pr2_controllers/branches/pr2_controllers-1.4/control_toolbox control_toolbox

c) For joystick_drivers (ros-pkg has this only) You can use

sudo apt-get install ros-electric-joystick-drivers

Till here you have just checked out the source for rosaria, teleop_base and its dependencies in side the new workspace and installed joystick_drivers.

Now

cd hg/ROSARIA
cmake .
make

you can also do

rosmake ROSARIA

similarly go into the control_toolbox and followed by teleop_base (as this requires control_toolbox already) and do the

cmake .
make

Now you can also do

rosmake teleop_base

After this you are done with the ROSARIA installation along with teleop_base to do operate it from the keyboard.

Even i am a starter in ROS. I believe the rosinstall method that was given in the tutorial was to make life simpler than doing these many checkouts and installing them. But its not working due to the path clashes. If anyone has any other better way of explaining, pls do so.

Hope this helps Karthik
