Hello,

i have a problem when i start the wiimote_node with rosrun wiimote wiimote_node.py. I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "wiimote_node.py", line 100, in <module> import wiimote.WIIMote File "/opt/ros/electric/stacks/joystick_drivers/wiimote/src/wiimote/WIIMote.py", line 48, in <module> import cwiid ImportError: /opt/ros/electric/stacks/joystick_drivers/cwiid/cwiid/lib/libcwiid.so.1: undefined symbol: clock_gettime

has anyone encountered the problem yet? I'm running out of ideas.

My os is ubuntu 11.10 32-bit

can you include what version of joystick drivers you have installed (look at the CMakeLists.txt in joystick_drivers).. I just installed the latest from the package manager (1.6.4) and ran it and it worked.

Yes I have had the same problem.

It is the libcwiid that comes with ROS Electric that is the problem. You can solve it be doing the following:

install libcwiid1 and libcwiid-dev with synaptic or apt.

go to

/opt/ros/electric/stacks/joystick_drivers/cwiid/cwiid/lib/

remove or rename

libcwiid.so libcwiid.so.1 libcwiid.so.1.0

Create the following symbolic links with “sudo ln -s”

libcwiid.so -> /usr/lib/libcwiid.so libcwiid.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libcwiid.so.1 libcwiid.so.1.0 -> /usr/lib/libcwiid.so.1.0

example: sudo ln -s libcwiid.so /usr/lib/libcwiid.so

This will solve your problem.

Had same issue while using wiimote in ROS Electric. The provided solution solved the problem. Also the symbolic link command should be "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcwiid.so libcwiid.so"
