V-REP player 3.5.0 does not start on the Debian 8 version supported by ROS Kinetic #84

Closed berezovskyi closed 6 years ago

berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

V-REP requires Glibc that comes with GCC 5.1, but Debian Jessie 8.10 (supported by ROS Kinetic) does not ship with it.

What were you SW versions of the OS (lsb_release -a to find out), GLibc, GCC, V-REP?

berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

For now I fell back to V-REP player 3.4.0

berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

I got everything to compile and run but the empire struck back in the logs of V-REP:

this plugin requires at least V-REP 3.4.0 rev9
Plugin 'RosInterface': load failed (failed initialization).
berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

For some reason, the 3.4.0 available from the website is rev. 1.

berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

I guess I will either have to use Ubuntu or be dangerous and try dist-upgrading my Debian 💣

berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

Debian Stretch does not sound so bad with Kinetic... http://sar-lab.net/teaching/ros-kinetic-on-raspbian-stretch-for-raspberry-pi-3/

berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

So, Stretch did not really work nice with my hacks... Going for Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus)

berezovskyi commented 6 years ago

So I got

Plugin 'RemoteApi': loading...
Starting a remote API server on port 19997

But I think we need to clearly document that ROS & VREP combo only works for Ubuntu & VREP PRO & VREP >= 3.5.0

jramadeu commented 6 years ago

Seems to be good practice to put that on the documentation. Why are you using VREP Player?

albertohata commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I included additional instructions in the readme. However, there are some 3.5.0 versions that has problems with the remote API or with the ros interface. If you keep facing problems, try different V-REP versions.

@jramadeu I wanted to see if I can create a VM to share with others and using Player seemed best.
