Hi everyone,

I have recently upgraded my ROS distros in my Pioneer 3 robots to ROS Hydro and I can't get my Kinects to work using openni_launch. Could anyone help me figure out why?

I am guessing it has something to do with 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04, since everything works fine on my desktop computer. Also it definitely has something to do with these two ROS distros (or the version of OpenNI that is pulled with them), since I can still run openni_launch just fine in ROS Fuerte. That, of course, rules out any hardware issues.

Below I copy the output I get when things crash, though the errors messages are not in themselves terribly informative. If you need any specific logs or tests let me know... Thanks in advance!

EDIT1: This issue might be related to the problems I am facing.

EDIT2: This problem might be hardware specific. I am using the Versalogic Cobra EBX-12 computer that shipped with our Pioneer 3 robots and apparently it does not support SSE3 instructions. Unfortunately, the OpenNI binaries ship with that compilation flag set, as stated in the Adept MobileRobots wiki. I will try compiling OpenNI from source and see if that works.
