I am using ROS Melodic and ueye api version 4.91.1 Using catkin build the build succeeds without warnings.

I am writing a simple camera listening node for a SICK camera in C++. I am getting a runtime error whenever the is_InitCamera(&hCam) command is present somewhere in the code. When I remove that command from code then there is no runtime error. The error is not raised by this command, but by the ros::init(argc, argv, "my_camera_handler"); command.

gdb gives the following output:

I have tried using the 4.80.2 version of the ueye library and that worked fine, but since I am developing for a 64 bit ARM system which only has a 4.91 version available then I can't use the older version outside of development.

The library commands themselves are working, but the problem is with ros::init command. Changing the order of the commands hasn't changed the result.

main.cpp

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "ueye.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    ros::init(argc, argv, "my_camera_handler");
    ros::NodeHandle n;

    HIDS hCam = 1;
    INT nRet = is_InitCamera(&hCam, NULL);

    return 0;
}

I am getting a runtime error [..]. [..] then there is no runtime error. [..] The error is not raised by this command [..]

which error specifically? You never show it.

re: edit: this could be a ABI incompatibility between the ueye library and some library linked in by your ROS node.

Does the ueye library use a different version of Boost fi (strong candidate)?
