@gbuondon had problems with the compilation of sot-talos-balance based on APT installation. This is weird to me as such a procedure is quite standard and as been used several times.
@gsaurel I believe you are investigating, hence assigned the task to you.
@ostasse Did you have time to double check with @gsaurel and make sure this is not a false problem?
We already discussed this with @gbuondon & @jmirabel. @jmirabel has proposed a solution that I approved, and I will implement it asap.
This will be tested in sot-talos-balance with @gbuondon, and then applied in all other SOT packages to ease their usage.
@ostasse is working with @gbuondon and @fforget to set up the graph. As this task depends on this achievement, I make @ostasse responsible of it for now.
Hi,
With respect to the simulation everything was related to a wrong bash configuration.
Feeback on the problems:
The CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH was not set to include /opt/openrobots
Solution: There is already a file provided in the wiki as well as a page with all the variables with correct values. We should insist on the fact that they are all important, the file should be used and sourced in the .bashrc file.
The PYTHONPATH included previously installed version of pinocchio jamming the initialization of the robot.
Solution: Insisting on the fact that some developments needs a clean and SEPARATE environment. This can be done through small separated script files called either explicitly or in the .bashrc when during long dev session.
Insist on the fact that users should not stay alone, and do not hesitate to ask assistance through IRC like channels after half-a-day of personal investiguation.
