Yesterdaym I installed ROS svn on my laptop and played some bag files provided to me and visualized the data on rviz.
First time user, fresh instalation, everything worked perfectly. Bravo ROS team !

That was done on a Ubuntu 9.10 32bits setup.

Today I tried to do the same thing on a Fedora 13 64bits. I got everything to compile and run as expected. However I get a runtime crash of rviz.

As soon as I add a camera display I get the following crash:

[FATAL] [1280846447.149778457]: ASSERTION FAILED
file = /users/visics/rbenenso/code/references/ros/pkgs/visualization/rviz/src/rviz/displays_panel.cpp
line = 474
cond = it != display_map_.end()

Any idea of what is going on ?

Thanks for ROS and let us keep the reproducible robotics research moving forward !

I'm getting the following error when trying to run the diamondback version of rviz installed from debs on my home machine:

ogre_tools fails to build on Fedora 15, claiming NULL is undefined. Adding "#include <stddef.h>" to axes.h fixes the issue.

The swig-generated ogre tools also fail to build claiming that ptrdiff_t does not name a type. Again, adding stddef.h was the solution.

I have managed to get ROS's ogre package to compile on OS X, which lets ogre_tools compile and gets rviz a little closer to compiling.

I used the patch on this orgre forum post and modified a few lines in it: http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=59370

I attached an ogre pkg patch that adds this modified patch for ogre and adds it to the tarball_patches in the make file for the ROS package.

I have not tested this patch on linux, or actually using rviz, so I don't know if it has any adverse effects. I will follow up post about the linking error I am getting with rviz soon.

When using the wxCocoa support with Ogre on OSX, you need to specify a few parameters for the window handles to be properly cast.

This patch defaults the macAPI to cocoa and the macAPICocoaUseNSView to true when WX_COCOA is defined.

This has been tested and works on OS X 10.7 Lion. I have not yet tested this on Linux, but it shouldn't make a difference since WX_COCOA shouldn't be defined on Linux.

Also, there was a random ROS_INFO("move") in there...

The current defaults for color fields are zero, which results in an invisible black marker if you forget to set them. The fields should default to non-zero values (1?) instead, so that something will show up in rviz. The alpha channel defaulting to 0 is particularly hard to debug for novice users.

The attached patch, in combination with the one already attached to https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/2721, allows rosdep to resolve the dependencies of rviz on Fedora 12.

Note that, due to its non-free status, Cg isn't part of the official Fedora repositories. I've had to enable the rpmfusion-nonfree repository to work around this.

I have changed the ogre version to 1.7.3 from 1.7.1 in ogre ROS pkg. This version has better OS X x86_64 support, and seems to incorporate the patches in the ogre pkg, but this needs confirming. This version builds better on OS X, but I have to disable building the tools, because of a build error there, but I think that is ok as ROS doesn't use those tools to my knowledge (Looking for input there).

Attached patch is for visualization_common-1.6.0.

Bug #5059 (Plugin_CgProgramManager not found in ogre package deb) was caused by the debian package nvidia-cg-toolkit not reliably installing, even when apt-get install returns success.

That bug was closed because we pushed out some successful builds, but we need to beef up the build so it does not randomly fail.

Only affects Lucid. Later versions of nvidia-cg-toolkit work differently and don't fail.

Proposed solution: copy the relevant files into the visualization_common stack and have the visualization_common/ogre/Makefile force them to be installed if they aren't already.

I built and ran gazebo and RViz on my home PC, running Karmic. It all went fine, ogre built, boost ran, etc. However, boost was recently upgraded (in apt) to version 1.38. This caused everything to stop working, because none of boost libraries (whose names include the version number), could be found. As a result, I had to do a make clean and make in every ogre package in the tree. It seems like the ros ogre package does not detect library changes and rebuild appropriately.
