Trying to run the command: rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=electric&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"

But I am getting the error: "Failed to install log4cxx! [ rosmake ] rosdep install failed: Rosdep install failed"

I am trying to create a GUI for my robot using the rqt package and I want to be able to change the display when a button is clicked.

I've got it working with one ui file but can't seem to change the ui files over. I can make the ui disappear completely but I can't get the second one to appear.

Does anyone have any experience using rqt or any suggestions that might help?

Thanks!

I have decided to install ros groovy in a Ubuntu 12.04 virtual machine which was an easy installation. I haven't tried connecting it to a robot yet but all of the drivers have installed fine. Thanks for the answers.

Have you checked the version of NITE that you have downloaded? I think I had a similar problem when I was using a 64 bit version of Ubuntu and installed the 32 bit version of NITE.

You'll want the x86 version of the NITE release you downloaded.

I have just bought a new Retina MacBook Pro which has OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) installed on it and I need to install ROS in the simplest way to continue developing. I am currently using ROSJava Groovy with the gradle build system on Ubuntu 13.04 (unsupported) and I am wondering which way is best to install ROS.

The options I'm currently considering are:

• Mac OS X 10.9 install with ROSJava Groovy
• Ubuntu 13.04 with ROSJava Groovy
• Some OS with Hydro

but any advice would be appreciated.

I would prefer to install on Mac OS X however I have previously tried to install it on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and could never manage to install it successfully.

I'm also reluctant to upgrade to the Catkin build system as I have been using Gradle and don't have experience of Catkin but I would upgrade if I couldn't avoid it.

Is anyone able to recommend the best install method for people in this situation?

Thanks for your help in advance

Whilst running the tutorial: http://www.ros.org/wiki/stage/Tutorials/SimulatingOneRobot

I am trying to write a rosjava program that will subscribe to the robots laser data and then publish messages. When I run the program whilst not being connected to a network it runs as expected and prints out a message to show that it is working.

However when I run it whilst connected to a wireless network the program doesn't appear to be receiving any messages and throws the following exceptions:

INFO: Subscriber registered: Subscriber<Topic<TopicIdentifier</base_scan>, TopicDescription<sensor_msgs/LaserScan, 90c7ef2dc6895d81024acba2ac42f369>>>

Does anyone know how or why this is happening relating to my network connection and if I can fix it.

I am running Fuerte on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

Thanks

No I gave up on it in the end as I couldn't make any progress on it.

When trying to install rosjava using this link: http://www.ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source

I get to the step where I run the command:

make -j8

This command fails with the following output:

Can anyone advise how I can fix this error? I am using osx 10.6.8 and the boost version thats installed is 1.49.0.

Im running OSX 10.6.8 and Xcode 3.2.6. Yes I've run brew update since the trouble began.

I have included a link to the log as it is quite a long file. Thank you for your help.

When I try and run the command:

rosdep install rxtools

When I do the formula tries to install swig-wx but fails to install it. I know I installed it during the initial setup but it failed when brew tried to install it automatically so I had to do it manually using the command ./configure && make && make install.

Is there a way to fix the swig-wx formula to allow the installer to install it or a way to install rxtools without installing swig-wx first?

Swig output:
