[yash508oza]

I am trying to get vrep_ros_bridge working with V3_4_0, and it dosent seem to work. Does somebody know how to get it working with this version?

Or what is the latest version of V-rep does this vrep_ros_bridge work with ?

Thanks and Regards.

Hi jokla, It seems that in V3.4.0 there are only two files available under compiledRosPlugins folder, they are "libv_repExtRosInterface.so" and "libv_repExtRosSkeleton.so", then how to get Ros plugin loaded into vrep? Cheers

Hi @anosnowhong . You are right, in the new version of V-REP the plugin libv_repExtRos.so is not there anymore. You will need to download a older version, for example V-REP_PRO_V3_3_2_64_Linux, and to copy paste the file libv_repExtRos.so into your new version of V-REP. If you are using Ubuntu 16.04 you will need to build it by yourself: Copy the folders vrep_plugin and vrep_common from home/user/Desktop/V-REP_PRO_V3_3_2_64_Linux/programming/ros_packages in your catkin_ws and do a catkin_make. You will find in devel the file libv_repExtRos.so. You will need to copy it in the root of the new V-REP Folder. I tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with ROS Kinetic and it is working.

Can you try to do a source of catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash in the terminal and after run V-REP in the same terminal?

Maybe you can try to build the plugin vrep_plugin and vrep_common with catkin_make
