ARGoS on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[mallwright]

Hi Arkapravo,

I have successfully compiled ARGoS under Ubuntu 12.04LTS (64 bit). I'm currently writing up a tutorial / walk though of my steps and I will post it here when I'm done.

Cheers,

Mike

Here is my draft of the build instructions, let me know if you have any trouble or if anything is unclear and I'll try find time to amend it.

I once this document is complete I will attach a PDF to this thread with the final copy or possibly move it on to a Wiki at some stage.

That is devilishly well done ! Good Job

I have fixed the dependencies in the new ARGoS release. Now the package I provided should work also on Ubuntu 12.04. Can you please confirm it? Thanks a lot!

Hi Pincy, sorry about the slow reply, the mailout / subscription to this forum seems a bit stochastic in the sense of when I'm notified about posts.

Anyway, here are my results of installing ARGoS on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 Bit. For this testing I used a Live CD on real (as apposed to virtualised) hardware (mostly intel).

First lets try to dpkg the package:

Code: Select all

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i argos2-20120521-i386-1cp.deb Selecting previously unselected package argos2. (Reading database ... 150248 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking argos2 (from argos2-20120521-i386-1cp.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of argos2: argos2 depends on libgsl0-dev; however: Package libgsl0-dev is not installed. argos2 depends on freeglut3-dev; however: Package freeglut3-dev is not installed. argos2 depends on libqt4-opengl-dev; however: Package libqt4-opengl-dev is not installed. argos2 depends on libxi-dev; however: Package libxi-dev is not installed. argos2 depends on libxmu-dev; however: Package libxmu-dev is not installed. dpkg: error processing argos2 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Processing triggers for man-db ... Errors were encountered while processing: argos2

Okay so we have some dependancies, lets install them, after we remove the mess dpkg made with argos

now lets try and install that package again:

That seemed to work well, however... on running the command "argos -p all" we get the error that argos can not find the main shared library, it seems that this wasn't added to the library path configuration. so lets run:

Code: Select all

sudo bash echo "/usr/lib/argos2" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/argos.conf ldconfig

and then everything works

Hi Mark,

thanks a lot for all the effort

Just a remark: the command "argos" should not usually be run directly. Instead, I made the wrapper script "launch_argos".

I know the trick of adding a file to the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory. I preferred to avoid it and use a wrapper script for the following reasons:
1. it does not help with the variable ARGOSINSTALLDIR anyway;
2. not all Linux distributions work with that, unfortunately. Some need to patch the file /etc/ld.so.conf.

Anyway, once more, thanks a lot for your work!

Cheers,
Carlo

No worries Pinci, it's been awhile since I have run Argos using the package installation and had forgotten about the launch_argos script.

Cheers,

Mike
