Hi John, I´m pretty sure I don´t have different installs of Ogre. I´ll probably just do the package install and try that once I have the time. For running gdb, I just went into the bin directory of gazebo and did "gdb ./gazebo". Then doing "run ~/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/launch/debug.launch" is equivalent to "./gazebo ~/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/launch/debug.launch", which is a valid way of starting gazebo with a launch file (at least that´s what I gathered from looking at gazebo´s command line help). regards, Stefan 2010/9/14 John Hsu : > Stefan, > > Do you have multiple installs of Ogre on your system > (Local/Boxturtle/Cturtle)? > Also, can you manually do a make clean and make wipe in gazebo then rebuild > and try again? > > By the way, this is a gdb question, how did you configure gdb to do > roslaunch by  run? > (gdb) run ~/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/launch/debug.launch > > John > > On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 12:45 AM, Stefan Kohlbrecher > wrote: >> >> Hi everyone, >> >> I'm having the exact same issues as described by Bert Willaert (quoted >> below) right now. >> >> Platform: Ubuntu 10.04 - Machine x86_64  - Kernel 2.6.32-24-generic - >> Graphic card >> Quadro NVS 160M (nvidia-current drivers [195.36.24] , hardware >> acceleration sure seems to work in other GL applications) >> >> Using C-Turtle compiled from SVN. >> >> >> When starting gazebo in gdb, I get the following: >> >> >> (gdb) run ~/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/launch/debug.launch >> Starting program: >> /home/stefan/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/bin/gazebo >> ~/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/launch/debug.launch >> [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] >> Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 0.10.0 >> >> Part of the Player/Stage Project [http://playerstage.sourceforge.net]. >> Copyright (C) 2003 Nate Koenig, Andrew Howard, and contributors. >> Released under the GNU General Public License. >> >> gazebo: >> /home/stefan/ros/stacks/visualization_common/ogre/build/ogre_src_v1-7-1/OgreMain/src/OgreTextureManager.cpp:42: >> static Ogre::TextureManager& Ogre::TextureManager::getSingleton(): >> Assertion `ms_Singleton' failed. >> >> Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. >> 0x00007ffff15c6a75 in *__GI_raise (sig=) at >> ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64 >> 64      ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c: No such file or >> directory. >>        in ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c >> (gdb) bt >> #0  0x00007ffff15c6a75 in *__GI_raise (sig=) at >> ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64 >> #1  0x00007ffff15ca5c0 in *__GI_abort () at abort.c:92 >> #2  0x00007ffff15bf941 in *__GI___assert_fail >> (assertion=0x7ffff6f57932 "ms_Singleton", file=, >> line=42, >>    function=0x7ffff6fb9f60 "static Ogre::TextureManager& >> Ogre::TextureManager::getSingleton()") at assert.c:81 >> #3  0x00007ffff6f22947 in Ogre::TextureManager::getSingleton () >>    at >> /home/stefan/ros/stacks/visualization_common/ogre/build/ogre_src_v1-7-1/OgreMain/src/OgreTextureManager.cpp:42 >> #4  0x00007ffff577e1cc in gazebo::OgreAdaptor::Init (this=0xb0fbe0, >> rootNode=) >>    at >> /home/stefan/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/gazebo-svn/server/rendering/OgreAdaptor.cc:180 >> #5  0x00007ffff7b939d5 in gazebo::Simulator::Load (this=> optimized out>, worldFileName=, serverId=0) >>    at >> /home/stefan/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/gazebo-svn/server/Simulator.cc:274 >> #6  0x00000000004de25c in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe188) at >> /home/stefan/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/src/gazeboros.cpp:2003 >> (gdb) ^CQuit >> (gdb) >> >> >> thanks in advance for any pointers, >> Stefan >> >> >> >> 2010/7/22 Bert Willaert : >> > >> > Hey, >> > >> > I am having similar problems when trying the Gazebo tutorials: >> > >> > Platform: Ubuntu 10.04 - Machine x86_64  - Kernel 2.6.32-22 - Graphic >> > card >> > GeForce 9600GT >> > >> > If I command: roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch >> > --> Gazebo interface opens and shuts down immediately >> > Message: >> > [gazebo-2] process has died [pid 8384, exit code -11]. >> > log files: >> > >> > /home/u0052802/.ros/log/164a5024-95a5-11df-8cda-0023aeb04ff7/gazebo-2*.log >> > >> > If I a command: roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world_no_x.launch >> > Message: >> > >> > [/opt/ros/boxturtle/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/gazebo-svn/server/GazeboConfig.cc:106] >> >  Unable to find the file ~/.gazeborc.
