Player installation in pio, Playernav warnings

Hi!

Yesterday we began trying to install player in Pio. We first noticed a lot of packages were missing so we decided to add repositories. When doing so, we realized that, due to the fact that Pio's Ubuntu version is quite old (7.04), the repositories aren't available anymore. We tried to upgrade the version to 7.10 but weren't able to do so. The solution we thought of was installing a more recent version of Ubuntu (8.04, 8.10 or 9.04), however, due to the architecture of the robot (128 Mb of ram and Pentium 3) it is not possible,

What we did today was download old versions of Player (1.4 first and then 1.5). We did the ./configure, make and make install but weren't installed successfully. We will continue working on that issue tomorrow, we think we can find a way to do so or maybe download the missing packages individually.

Concerning the Playernav task, we know how to complete it in Carlos's computer (his installation of Player was different). In my computer, however, I have been having some troubles when running the application. It does it succesfully, however, the terminal shows me several warnings and one of the robots won't execute the planned route in the world file.

We have researched in blogs and apparently, one of the warnings has to do with the way in which I installed Player.

We hope to receive some suggestions, concerning particularly the issue of Player installation in Pio.

Regards!!
