I received below error after running

"roslaunch hector_slam_launch tutorial.launch"

"rosbag play Team_Hector_MappingBox_RoboCup_2011_Rescue_Arena.bag --clock"

I could see the tf in rviz , but there is no map! how could I define transform between frames /map and scanmatcher? and why does it call terminate? Any idea?

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::lock_error> >'
  what():  boost: mutex lock failed in pthread_mutex_lock: Invalid argument

To know how the tf works see the following tutorials :

tf

Hector SLAM tf setup

An easy solution would be to manually starting a tf publisher that publishes the needed transform from the base_link (localized) to the laser scanner frame. See the example launch file below:

 <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="base_to_laser_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 base_link laser 100" />

and you should have your hector_mapping parameters like this :

  <param name="pub_map_odom_transform" value="true"/>
   <param name="map_frame" value="map" />
   <param name="base_frame" value="base_link" />
  <param name="odom_frame" value="base_link" />

Thank you AlexR, I changed my computer and I used my personal laptop which has more powerful graphic card, and I run the launch file with the bag file and it worked perfectly. I used the parameters below which give me a reasonable map.

 <arg name="base_frame" default="base_link"/>
 <arg name="odom_frame" default="nav"/>
