Tutorials / Using the SpaceNav Node doesn't work.
Ref: http://wiki.ros.org/spacenav_node/Tut...
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit, ROS Jade.
First, installed the suggested Ubuntu libraries with Ubuntu software install:
libspnav-dev (0.2.2-1ubuntu, automatic)
ros-jade-spacenav-node (1.10.1-0trusty2015052509793-+0000)
spacenavd (0.5-1)
Then, per the tutorial:
rosdep install spacenav_node
#All required rosdeps installed successfully
Then, again per the tutorial:
rosmake spacenav_node

I've ticketed the out-of-date tutorials on the ros-drivers/joystick_drivers issue tracker. It would be really nice if you could update them (or at least the installation section(s)) with what worked for you.
