can't run gmapping scan

I am following the tutorial here to make a simple map from already prepared data:

http://wiki.ros.org/slam_gmapping/Tut...

however, I get stuck at this step:

rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping scan:=base_scan

It takes forever, and does not finish. When I abort the process, I see the following on the screen:

virtual GMapping::GridSlamProcessor::~GridSlamProcessor(): Start virtual GMapping::GridSlamProcessor::~GridSlamProcessor(): Deleting tree

I am new to ROS and gmapping, and would appreciate any help here.

Make sure that you are subscribing to the proper laser scan topic since not all laser drivers subscribe to the topic /base_scan. I run sicktoolbox_wrapper laser driver that subscribes the laser readings on the topic /scan rather than /base_scan.

The rosrun gmapping command is not intended to finish. It is waiting for laser scan messages and will not begin producing a map estimate until you proceed to the next step of the tutorial (rosbag play...).
