RigidBodyTreeInspector Build Issue

[nddoshi]

Hey,

I downloaded Julia 0.5.1-xenial1, and I've added the RigidBodyDynamics package. When I try to add the RigidBodyTreeInspector package, I get the error below. The specific command I ran there was Pkg.build("RigidBodyTreeInspector"). I believe I have python 2.7.12.

I'm afraid you're running into https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl/issues/199

Can you please try installing those apt packages manually?

sudo apt-get install python-dev libvtk5-qt4-dev python-vtk

and then re-run Pkg.build("DrakeVisualizer") in Julia

thanks! that seemed to work. I also had to install glib manually (sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev ). I'll try tout some of the examples and let you know how it goes.

One more quick question -- I can put this on a separate thread since it's off topic. I tried running the first few cells in demo.ipynb using jupyter notebook. It works well until I try to run: RigidBodyTreeInspector.inspect(mechanism; show_inertias=false, randomize_colors=true) I see the robot in the visualizer, but none of the sliders appear in my notebook.

Also, when I run the next set of commands, I get the following error when it try to run: configurations[i] = copy(configuration(state))

For the sake of my sanity, I've split these off into #18 and #19

By the way, when you're posting error messages like this, it's better to post the text of the error rather than a screenshot, since the text will be searchable in the future when someone else has the same problem. Just put triple backticks around the text so github doesn't try to format it: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/#fenced-code-blocks

Noted. Will do that in the future, thanks!
