I am currently using Pyro on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy, as well as on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. So far, Pyro behaves even better on 8.04 than on 6.10. I'll comment more in-line below.

After pyrobot compiles, if you attempt to run pyrobot, this happens: ./pyrobot: line 1: -e: command not found ./pyrobot: line 8: Pyrobot - Python Robotics (c) 2005, PyroRobotics.org. Licensed under the GNU GPL. THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED : command not found The first line of bin/pyrobot looks like: -e #!/usr/bin/python2.5 removing the -e, making the line look like: #!/usr/bin/python2.5 fixes the problem. Also, the -e shows up at the beginning of the system/version.py as well, and needs to be removed for pyrobot to work. I don't know enough python or configure to figure out where the -e comes from originally, but I can confirm what happens and how to workaround it. > > > -- First of all, I get an error when I try to compile the camera code, the > > c++ stuff.

I was able to compile Pyro, including the camera code, on Ubuntu 8.04. I use aptitude to install the following packages: subversion swig python-numpy python-imaging python-imaging-tk python-tk tix libjpeg62-dev libgtk2.0-dev libtool autoconf g++ util-linux python-setuptools For Player/Stage, I am using the Ubuntu packages for these. They are named oddly, but seem to work fine: aptitude install robot-player robot-player-dev stage The binaries all have robot- prepended to the name, but a few symbolic links fix that. I then get pyrobot from subversion into some folder: svn co http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/pyrobot/trunk pyrobot Then I run the configure.py, and use the defaults for 1, 2, and 3. 4 is /usr/include/X11. I also tell it to build everything except the Aibo and splits because I don't plan on using those. Additionally, I needed to make a link in the python2.5 site-packages folder to where pyrobot is installed: ln -s $Pyro_Location /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyrobot Previously, with pyrobot from cvs on Ubuntu 6.10 with my own compiled version of Player/Stage, none of the image processing would compile at all. Now, it all seems to work fine. I have not tried compiling Player/Stage myself this time, since I am happy with the Ubuntu packages. I recalled seeing a note (possibly on this list) about newer versions of Player/Stage not working well with pyrobot, so I didn't bother investigating using the latest-and-greatest Player.
