Hi,

When i try to build the ROS core on Arch Linux x86_64 system i get the following error, if some one could help me solve this or at least point me in the rite direction would be very helpful

The error is below:

Linking CXX executable ../../bin/rxloggerlevel
[100%] Built target rxconsole
In file included from /tmp/yaourt-tmp-zion/aur-ros-core/src/ros-underlay/build/rx/rxtools/rosout_panel_swig_generated.cpp:3240:0:

Take a look here.. it may be a new swig issue in rxtool... http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/ticket/1365 good luck.

Hi Lorenz, Thanks for your response, i tried cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/ros/fuerte -DSETUPTOOLS_DEB_LAYOUT=OFF -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2 .. looked for any reference to python in the build directory there was none but i still get the same errro :( any ideas

Have a look at CMakeCache.txt. There should be something related to libpython.

Thanks Lorenz looks like that solved the python problem but now i face a boost problem i think http://answers.ros.org/question/45689/ros-core-build-on-arch-linux/

That seems to be another python issue. My guess is that cmake's configure finds python3 instead of python2. If you are lucky, you can change that using ccmake. Go into your build directory, execute cmake . and check if the configure contains something python3 related. Change it to the corresponding files/directories/flags for python2. If that doesn't work, you might have to patch some catkin cmake files that are responsible for finding python.

Since this problem is still relevant with Groovy/Hydro for some packages, a script that automatically fixes these issues is available in ros-build-tools. Calling fix-python-scripts.sh on the source directory before installing it solves it, but this means that all ROS packages have to be fixed that way when installing ROS. This is done automatically in dedicated AUR packages.
