unable to get collvoid plugin planner for navigation stack to move the robot?

Hello, I have been trying to get the multi robot collision avoidance package working with the navigation stack. I set up the launch files similar to the examples provided in the package and can display the costmaps, global and local plans made by the collvoid planner. When I send move_base a goal using rviz or a simple package I get a warning

[ WARN] [1348232889.899224274]: MSG to TF: Quaternion Not Properly Normalized.

I have checked the goals sent to it and they are normalized. The collvoid package doesn't correctly move the robot to the goal even though it's planned a global and local path to it. The robot just rotates from side to side and moves forward very slowly. When I use a different planner like navfn then I don't get this warning and the robot moves correctly along paths. Has anyone got this package working well with fuerte and the navigation stack?

The blue line is the global plan and the purple line is the local plan. The goal was selected from publishing a selected goal from rviz on the move_base_simple/goal which already normalizes the quaternion for you.

Would you mind sharing the source code of collvoid package? Because the original address is fail(rosws merge https://kforge.ros.org/collvoid/collvoid/raw-file/tip/collvoid.rosinstall) and I cannot download it. Thank you

It's not supported for fuerte yet.

Hello guys,

i'm using the collvoid stack too with navigation stack of fuerte (that version before release of navigation-1.9.1, https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation/releases) and got the same problem as described above. Does anybody know if that problem was fixed in fuerte since then and if the version I have chosen does support that?
