2014-03-26 09:06:38 -0500 asked a question How to import files to ROS package with catkin?

This is my first ROS package and I think this is a pretty easy question but I'm not sure how to most appropriately do this:

I am trying to build a ROS package with GTSAM: borg.cc.gatech.edu/download

which requires Boost C++ to be installed: sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/

Both libraries are installed in my /usr/local/ directory. I'd like to use these libraries in my ROS package but I'm not sure the proper way of doing so. Should I just #include as usual and have a readme saying to install these libraries before using this ROS package? Or should include the installation in my ROS package directory?

Sorry for the noob question and thanks for the help.

thats cool. I'll look into it. Thanks!

that makes sense. It just seems that pub -r shouldn't be so intensive...

Sorry, my point was that rqt_plot isn't the problem. Its runs just fine. If all I have running is (1) roscore, (2) turtlesim_node, and (3) rostopic pub -r, then things lag immediately after command 3. Thanks

Entire VM. Everything else in the tutorial has been working just fine btw. rqt_graph, rqt_plot, etc. The host system seems just fine and the host activity of these 2 cores reflects the activity I see in gnome-system-monitor. Thanks

I'm going throughout the tutorial, when we get to the point of publishing a recurring message to view the node graph along with the plots, etc. my machine begins to freeze. It doesn't crash but get really really slow. I have checked the gnome-system-monitor and my 2 cores aren't on 100%, not is my 2GB RAM full. However the UI is very laggy. Eventually, the cores start pumping at 100% each, but it doesn't seem to make sense. I don't know why this is happening, but its hard to troubleshoot when things start to freeze up.

I am running on VirtualBox so that could be part of the issue, but it hasn't been a problem yet. I'm new to ROS. Thanks for any help.

2014-02-18 18:03:45 -0500 asked a question ROS Groovy setup suggestions with Virtualbox

I'm new to ROS and I have Ubuntu 12.04 setup in a virtual box on my macbook pro retina display. I have 2 processors set aside along with 2GB RAM and 128MB video. I have 20GB disk with 1GB swap. And I have installed Guest Additions.

Anyways, I was just wondering if there were any other suggestions.

Thanks
