Suppose I have following program :

Global Variables
void  main (..)
{
  declared nodes.. and stuff

  while(1)
  {
      do X stuff.. 

      publish a topic..
  }
} 

void callback()
{
    process data.. 
}

I am not able to publish a topic, after first call back is called.. Is it some error in my code or, I am missing some return statement.. ?

Actually am using Odometry Sample Program and have linked it with roserial program. So the only modification to sample odometry program I have made is that have added a subscriber and a callback method which sets vx vy etc variables... The problem is the odom and base_link frames no longer exists.. ? I dont know whats wrong :(

We need more details. Do you call ros::spin or ros::spinOnce anywhere? Could you generate a minimal example that has the same issue or post your code?

If you are asking about doing callbacks in ROS, use ros::spinOnce() instead of ros::spin() in your while loop. See this tutorial: link text

The odometry sample program mentioned above did not call ros::spinOnce(). It should, so I fixed it.

As the answers may be reordered, it would be better to post this as a comment to my answer, or as an edit to your own question. It would be good to edit your question to describe your problem more clearly, otherwise it's hard for others to help (and check that your links are correct!)

Ok, joq updated the sample program, that should work now. It would be good nevertheless, to work through the publishing/subscribing tutorial that I linked. I went through that a few times when learning ROS.
