V-REP_PRO_EDU_V3_2_2_64_Linux crashes on start due to ROS

[Pouya]

Hello. I just downloaded V-REP_PRO_EDU_V3_2_2_64_Linux and I noted there is a new shared object called libv_repExtRos.so. It needs roscore to be executed already otherwise v-rep crashes. For me the workaround was simple: Move it to another directory that v-rep doesn't look for shared objects in it.

However, I am writing this in bug section because not everyone uses ROS with v-rep.

Cheers,
Pouya.

Hello Pouya,

thanks for mentioning this. Such crashes linked to Roscore not running at launch, happened in the past, but doesn't happen anymore (normally). Is it possible that you have a special configuration/system?

I just wanted to report I see the same problem. I'm not trying to use ros and don't have it installed but wanted to report I consistently see the .so load failure crash for that plugin.

Interesting. Thanks for mentioning this.
