Frustrating Errors in Loading Motion Planning Library

asked 2016-10-15 00:08:14 -0500

I am facing very unusual problems. I have been using ROS-Indigo under Ubuntu 14.04 on my Virtual Machine and ROS-Indgio under Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop. Surprisingly, I am seeing totally different kinds of errors on all of these machines while I am using the same tutorials.

Coming to the point, I am trying to run PR2 moveit tutorials given here. On my laptop, I am seeing the following error

PluginlibFactory: The plugin for class 'moveit_rviz_plugin/MotionPlanning' failed to load.  Error: According to the loaded plugin descriptions the class moveit_rviz_plugin/MotionPlanning with base class type rviz::Display does not exist.

and the following error

Exception while loading planner 'ompl_interface/OMPLPlanner': According to the loaded plugin descriptions the class ompl_interface/OMPLPlanner with base class type planning_interface::PlannerManager does not exist.

It is really very frustrating. So, I tried to run it on my virtual machine as well. Please help me, how can I handle this. I have been spending a lot of time on it and it is not working.

Both of these errors point to missing packages. Do you have the ros-<distro>-moveit-ros-visualization and the ros-<distro>-moveit-planners-ompl packages installed?

Thank you so gvdhoorn. It is working now. I am so grateful to you for your comment. I spent almost 2 days in figuring out what's the problem and tried to install as many packages to resolve this but I could not. May Mighty Lord accept your good deeds and help you when you need.

No problem. But I'm curious how you installed the PR2 pkgs in the first place. They should've resulted in the missing pkgs being installed automatically.

And in general: if something complains about plugins not being found, try to find out which pkg they should come with. Then install that.

I shall definitely do it and be careful in future. Thank gvdhoorn for your extremely valuable time.
