Problem with Stagte installation

Hello everyone

After an apparent successful installation of Player I had a compilation problem that made Stage's installation impossible. When trying to generate the makefiles with cmake I get the following error:

* WebSim not detected.

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:350
(message):
None of the required 'cppunit' found
Call Stack (most recent call first):hat
libstageplugin/test/CMakeLists.txt:3 (pkg_search_module)

I searched several forums and they said that this problem has to do with the libtool package missing but I verified it and it is already installed.

Hope any of you can help me with this problem.

Greetings!

Player/Stage Installation

Hi everyone!

I found a wiki for the installation of Player and Stage from some university in Denmark I guess...

It helped me a lot but there were some other problems which I had to solve. Now I believe it's finally installed so I will try to catch up with everyone else.

Here's the link: http://www.control.aau.dk/~tb/wiki/index.php/Installing_Player_and_Stage_in_Ubuntu

Regards!

Hi!

Hi all, I do want to be working on Player/Stage, installing it was really hard and now I would want to test it.

About installing it... somehow, like 15 min later after the installation my Ubuntu died with no reason, so I decided to install OpenSuse, and already installed player and stage, but I had to add some variables... but stilll I got one problem. When trying to run the test.cfg, got this problem:

Stage driver creating 3 devices
/usr/local/share/stage/worlds/test.cfg:19 error: unknown interface: [position]
error : Initialization failed for driver "stage"
error : failed to parse config file /usr/local/share/stage/worlds/test.cfg driver blocks

That "stage" driver is the name that is given inside the test.cfg but i don't know why it's making that error occurs.

Hope someone could help with this, maybe i missed some variable, or something else

Regards

Guide to Install Player/Stage

Hi! Sorry for not posting in a while. I've been working on installing Player and Stage on Ubuntu, I had many, and I mean a lot of troubles trying to do that, but now I successfully installed it, and made a little guide for everyone else to install it easily.

Hope I didn't miss any step.

Guide
This guide is made to install Player/Stage in Ubuntu 8.04
** This should be working on any Linux platform **

First of all do
sudo apt-get build-essential

Before COMPILING and INSTALLING anything else be sure you have installed thes libraries:

Try to install them in this order
*Note: Many of this libraries may defer on a number at the end, representing the version
*The one that say Download and install... refers to do a "./configure", "make" and "make install" on each package

Download and install >=glib-2.0
Download and install pango
Download and install atk

sudo apt-get install libtiff-dev
sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev
sudo apt-get install libxext-dev
sudo apt-get install libltdl3-dev
sudo apt-get install libplayerjpeg2

Download and install gtk+

Finally,
Go to player/stage sourceforge webPage http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/ and download the player and stage softwares, and first do a "./configure", "make" and "make install" on player, then do the same on stage.

To test you have installed everything and is running do:
player /usr/local/share/stage/worlds/simple.cfg

Comentarios de Carlos Nieto sobre los demos de ARIA

Es muy sencillo /usr/local/Aria/bin/demo.. o el directorio puede estar en /opt/Aria/lib/demo ese es el general, hay un directorio de demos.. solo make y listo. Crea los binarios para correr los programas.

Stage y Player es muy utilizado en Alemania y Francia, la ventaja es que puedes tener diferentes robots y sensores. Lo que no me gusta es lo de crear modulos o drivers para cada sensor de robot..

Si quieren programar en python o java usando Aria, lo pueden hacer. Estan instalados tambien los demos de estos lenguajes, lo unico que no probe fue lo de los sensores.

Player/Stage

Hi everyone!

I just successfully installed Player (I think...) but to install Stage requires a lot of other programs and libraries which I was trying to install but somehow I wasn't able to do so because it said at the output that there were some errors and nothing about them so I didn't know what to do. Hope someone can make a quick guide to install Stage and some troubleshooting for us that don't know a lot about Ubuntu.

In other news, we checked the USB port and the cabling is right so perhaps someone can tell how to bring up the port in Ubuntu, I guess that's the problem about the USB.

Good things to all!

Problem with stage

Hi, player is already installed and running, but I can't get stage to install... I downloaded the stage-2.1.1 and when trying to compile I get an error about some headers in the file gui_prefs.c

I can't figure why is this happening, if someone has passed through this, I would appreciate your help.

Newflash!

I'm already install de Linux OS in my PC(I erase de VM Linux OS). And I will install the Player/Stage, I hope to not have problems! See ya!
