Dependencies

[debortoli]

Hi,

This is very interesting work! I am trying to install your simulator with now experience or knowledge of packages like Rock or Ruby. Can you please list the dependencies of this simulator?

I have installed your package (i.e. I have the example scripts following your instructions in the README). I am now running into problems running the imaging sonar scripts due to a lack of "vizkit", which I assume is a part of Rock? Thanks!

Hi @debortoli,

thanks. It's good to hear that the sonar simulator is interesting to you. vizkit is the graphical package of Rock and it is expected to run without problems. Maybe vizkit package was updated and we need to do something in our side.

Could you present the error output?

[debortoli]

Thanks for the response! The error I was getting was: `require': cannot load such file -- vizkit when I ran sonar_multibeam-run.rb . This was before I had installed Rock separately from your package.

So I have tried to install Rock myself and then your package and that has not worked (the Rock bootstrap.sh script is not working properly for some reason, so I have been unable to fully install Rock).

Anyways, the error I was getting to me suggested I had some prior dependency issues, so it may be helpful to get any system parameters you expect (e.g. Ruby version) when installing your package.

Thanks

Sorry for the lack of detail in my last post. So I have tried to not install Rock before installing your package. I ran sudo apt-get install ruby and got version 1.9.3p555 (I'm on Ubuntu 14.04). Then I wget and ran bootstrap.sh. I got the following error:

So then I tried to update Ruby using rbenv. I updated to version 2.4.2 (I think Rock only works with 2.0+). I selected "no" when it asked if C++ should be enabled for Rock packages. I then ran bootstrap.sh and got the following error:

Do you know what could be causing this? Thank you!

Hey!

we have used and tested using Ubuntu 16.04 with Ruby 2.3.1. Could you reinstall the imaging sonar simulation using this Ruby version?

[debortoli]

Ok, I tried it with Ruby 2.3.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 and it was unable to build (for a variety of reasons I could not figure out). I then tried it with Ubuntu 16.04 and it worked! Thanks!
