I have three laptops of which one will act as the master. They are all connected to the same network. When I try to run gscam on one slave and access it from the master the setup works perfectly. But when I run gscam on the second slave, the first slave's terminal that was running gscam receives a shutdown request citing the reason "new node registered with same name" and stops working. The second slave starts working. But I want them both to run simultaneously.

I tried changing the node name by changing the executable name in the CMakeLists.txt file. Even then the problem persists.

Don't change the name of the executable, change the node name by passing: __name:=new_name

You can also produce a roslaunch file the automatically assigns anonymous node names.
