Hi Arjun, I would need the log file from your actual node instead. The rosout log file is just for the rosout node. There should be a log file if you "roscd log" and look for your node's name. Regardless, the patch for xmlrpc.py is not relevant here, as this is a different section of code. The log file would hopefully provide more detail as to whether the above error is the cause or just a symptom. I haven't used rospy inside of openrave, so I'm not sure I can be of much help, though I could think of ways to make the code more robust to whatever the problem is. - Ken On Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 1:46 AM, Arjun wrote: > Hi all, >  I am getting a socket error when I launch my program (which uses openrave). > The launch file launches a single node running on the same machine as the > roscore.
