Hello everybody,

I downloaded the wviz package but i get a lot of trouble during the compilation. It's looking for some packages that do not exist (move_arm_msgs,mapping_msgs,planning_environment_msgs ...) Moreover i have some issue with some library ros independant like ompl. However, ros-fuerte-ompl Version 0.10.2001850-0oneiric-20120413-1454-+0000 is installed on my computer.

Hope you can help,

Thanks,

Benoit

Make sure you stick to one ROS version during your installation and use. You mention you try to get it working on ROS electric, but also say you installed some Fuerte packages. They can happily live side by side, but your environment setup should only use one version:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment

As for the missing packages, it looks like you didn't search that well ;):

where the octomap_msgs is the only one not having a dedicated page - but I suspect the package to be available in the octomap_mapping stack.

In case you are new to ROS, you might want to try some tutorials to familiarize yourself:

octomap_msgs is indeed a new stack and not indexed yet. It's released as .deb though, and available from http://alufr-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/branches/octomap_mapping-fuerte/ for Fuerte.

Thank you for the links for my missing packages.
I looked for them using the browse software search in ros.org: "That's weird but it didn't find them".
Concerning the ompl_fuerte package, synaptic just proposed me this one.
After compiling I stile have the following warning:

  • WARNING: Rosdeps [u'ompl', u'libqt4-dev', u'opencv2', u'libpq-dev'] could not be resolved

  • Failed to find stack for package [octomap_msgs]
    Failed to load rosdep.yaml for package [octomap_msgs]:Cannot locate installation of package octomap_msgs: [rospack] couldn't find package [octomap_msgs].
    ROS_ROOT[/opt/ros/electric/ros] ROS_PACKAGE_PATH[/data/my_ros:/opt/ros/electric/stacks:/opt/ros/electric/stacks]

I installed via synaptic the ros-electric-octomap-mapping stack but apparently, octomap_msg package is not in it.

Moreover, i got one error:

from /data/my_ros/experimental/distance_field/src/pf_distance_field.cpp:37: /data/my_ros/experimental/distance_field/include/distance_field
/distance_field.h:41:35: fatal error: tf/LinearMath/Vector3.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[3]: [CMakeFiles/distance_field.dir/src/pf_distance_field.o] Error 1

make[1]: * [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/my_ros/experimental/distance_field/build'

For now, my ros environment is in electric and I don't plan to upgrade for Fuerte.

Hello,
Firstly I downloaded the package from http://www.ros.org/browse/details.php?name=wviz with svn co ....
I process the same for all dependencies.
I installed also some library like (ros-fuerte-ompl, libqt4-dev ...) using synaptic.
To compile i tried several things :

  • rosdep install wviz
    Apparently, some stacks or packages are missing but i can't find them in ros.org
    1)planning_environment_msgs
    2)move_arm_msgs
    3)mapping_msgs
    4)octomap_msgs
    5)collision_environment_msgs

  • rosmake
    Same packages are stile missing:
    I also checked the dependencies in synaptic manager for the following libraries
    ompl -> ros-fuerte-ompl V0.10.2001850-0oneiric-20120413-1454-+0000
    xulrunner-dev -> xulrunner-1.9.2 v1.9.2.24+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1
    libqt4-dev -> libqt4-dev V 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8.1
    opencv2 ->2.3.95-0oneiric-20120414-2236-+0000
    libpq-dev -> libpq-dev 9.1.3-0ubuntu0.11.10

My karma is not enough high to send files and errors filled more than a screen. If you need them please give me your email
