problem running vrep with ros

Post by ljklonepiece »

Dear Developers,

I encountered the core damped problem when i am running ROS tutorial in the documentation.
Specifically, when i ran rosTopicPublisherAndSubscriber.ttt demo,
it reports error like this:

Code: Select all

[rospack] Warning: no such package image_transport
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'pluginlib::LibraryLoadException'
  what():  rospack could not find the image_transport package containing image_transport::PublisherPlugin
Aborted (core dumped)
i also use rospack find image_transport, it is in side /opt/ros/groovy/share/image_transport
So not sure how to handle this error.

Could you help?
Thanks a lot in advance !

Hello,

the plugin was compiled for Fuerte, maybe that might be the reason? Have you tried to recompile it? I suspect this is directly linked to ROS and its different versions.

Cheers

Hi,

I have the same problem, although I've recompiled the vrep stack after creating the symbolink links.

My system:
- OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64 bits)
- ROS_DISTRO: hydro
- V-REP: V-REP_PRO_EDU_V3_1_1_64_Linux

Error:

Code: Select all

[rospack] Warning: no such package image_transport
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'pluginlib::LibraryLoadException'
  what():  rospack could not find the image_transport package containing image_transport::PublisherPlugin
Aborted (core dumped)
It seems like a environment variables problem to me, but I can not figure out how to solve it. Under fuerte works, no matter I've compiled with hydro :/ (strange)

Hi again,

I have found the error. Sorry, my error ¬¬'
I forgot to copy the libv_repExtRos.so new plugin to the V-REP installation folder.
Now everything works!

Sergi.

Hello,

what ROS version and what V-REP version are you running?
Have you tried to recompile the plugin? The plugin source is located in programming/ros_packages.

Cheers
