Hi Matei,

I checked out the most recent code from the repository.  They compiled
smoothly.  But when I ran

    roslaunch pr2_tabletop_manipulation_launch
pr2_tabletop_manipulation.launch

The program suspended and waits for some action client to be there.
Following are the ROS_INFO printed out.

    [INFO] 1279057792.398460: controller manager: waiting for
l_gripper_fingersensor_controller/gripper_action to be there
    [INFO] 1279057667.219776: controller manager: waiting for
r_gripper_fingersensor_controller/gripper_action to be there

I checked by

    rostopic list | grep l_gripper

and found there are topics for the actions mentioned above.  Following are
just part of the output related to the specific topic

    /r_gripper_fingersensor_controller/gripper_action/cancel
    /r_gripper_fingersensor_controller/gripper_action/feedback
    /r_gripper_fingersensor_controller/gripper_action/goal
    /r_gripper_fingersensor_controller/gripper_action/result
    /r_gripper_fingersensor_controller/gripper_action/status

Do you have any idea of what we should explore to solve this?  Thanks,

Hao
