Hi,

I am trying to run ROS Hydro on an Intel Galileo running Debian. I've installed ROS, the i386 version, and it's giving me an Illegal Instruction error when running the listener cpp tutorial. It appears the offending code is in librostime:

$ gdb devel/lib/beginner_tutorials/talker 
...
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0xb7931195 in ros::DurationBase<ros::wallduration>::fromSec(double) () from /opt/ros/hydro/lib/librostime.so
(gdb) backtrace

1: x/i $pc
=&gt; 0xb7931195 &lt;_ZN3ros12DurationBaseINS_12WallDurationEE7fromSecEd+37&gt;: fucomip %st(1),%st

It looks like it's using the fucomip instruction, which was added with the Pentium Pro.

I'll try to figure out how to build this from source... but is this a configuration error in the build farm? </ros::wallduration></ros::wallduration>

This is not a configuration error on the build farm. The build farm has to make a decision about the minimum supported instruction set and uses the defaults defined on the compiling system. It is very likely that a Pentium Pro is not cover by that due to its age.

You should be easily able to build the packages you need from source following the instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installatio...

Dirk, Aptitude tells me this is an i386 package. Doesn't that mean it should only include 386 instructions? If that's true, fucomip should not occur, because that's not an i386 instruction. Or am I misunderstanding something?

"i386" does not stand for the 386 instruction set. It indicates 32-bit binaries. The opposite one is "amd64" for 64-bit binaries.

Hmmm... in gcc it does: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.6/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html, there are i386 through i686 flags If i386 is actually i686 in ROS, that's unfortunate. The Galileo board can support i586, but not i686, i'd hate to have to build from source when it's so close.

Ubuntu officially dropped support for i386, i486, or i586, with 10.10. I can't find the actual press release, but this is noted for the 12.04 notes: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/hardware-supported.html

Ok, I see, that's too bad.
