8 years ago Hi,
Can you please specify how you installed cob_people_perception? By downloading from git and catkin_make (and catkinmake install)? For now, I can only see one reason why you still cannot access the older version after uninstalling cob* . There is one bash script (https://github.com/ipa320/cob_people_perception/blob/indigo_dev/cob_openni2_tracker/launch/create_nite2_link.bash) that creates a link to NiTE2 during compilation in your .ros folder. This is necessary for openni2_tracker to run - we cannot change the library names in those binaries. Try to delete that link which should be located in $HOME/.ros/NiTE2.
Furthermore, if you downloaded the software package from github and if you do not need the oppeni2_tracker, then you can simply drop a CATKIN_IGNORE file into the cob_openni2_tracker and libnite2 packages and they won't be built and won't install a different NiTE version.
I fear that I will not be able to contribute a principled solution to this problem within the next weeks due to other work. If you find a simple way you are more than welcome to share that solution with us.
Best regards, Richard

Folks,
I installed the package, but it overridden my NiTE1.x installations, and also changed the paths in my cmake_prefixpath environment variable. Now I cannot run my other packages, even after uninstalling the cob* package. I wonder if there is a way to install the NiTE2 from this repository in a local way so that it does not affect the rest of the package in ROS? By this I mean no Make/CMakeList hacking required from the user point of view. Or at least give the option to the user to install it locally, or globally. I don't think it's that difficult to do that.
Other than that, the face detection is pretty cool!
Thanks,
