Pre-release was working for me yesterday, but I had to revert back to drcsim

After re-installing today, I get consistent crash on every start.

drcsim-prerelease (4.2.4-1~trusty) ...

Copied the BDI library

sudo cp libAtlasSimInterface.so.3.0.2 opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO/lib/libAtlasSimInterface3.so.3.0.2

Then

roslaunch drcsim_gazebo atlas.launch mode_args:="_v4

I consistently get the following crash:

ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311

Try with extra_gazebo_args:="--verbose"? I assume you replaced $ROS_DISTRO with hydro or indigo when you copied the file.

Can you take a look in your log files? There might be some useful information.

It works for me on trusty / indigo.

• changed state from "new" to "closed"

Verbose did the trick; apparently at some earlier startup the gazebo process hung around as zombie. [Err] [Exception.cc:52] EXCEPTION: Unable to start server[bind: Address already in use]. There is probably another Gazebo process running.

Killing the zombie fixed the problem.

FYI: It does not appear that the "Unable to start server" message is logged.
