The problem will be fixed in the most recent release of geometry, *but* you need to switch from latest to cturtle. We are switching over our development to cturtle, which we have just branched from latest in order to stabilize development. The official announcement for testing our alpha release of cturtle will likely come tomorrow, but you can access it (including debs) by substituting 'cturtle' for 'boxturtle' in any of the installation instructions. This alpha version of cturtle comes with the same warnings and caveats we apply to latest: use at your own risk, as problems like the one you reported are likely to exist.

Hi folks,

I am running latest ROS and have a strange problem that shows up when running this little snippet of code:

#! /usr/bin/env python

import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('wubble_actions')
import rospy
import tf

if __name__ == '__main__':
   rospy.init_node('tf_test', anonymous=True)
   tf = tf.TransformListener()
   rospy.spin()

After running this node I get the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'ros::TimeNotInitializedException'
 what():  Cannot use ros::Time before calling ros::init
[test_tf-11] process has died [pid 15907, exit code -6].
log files: /home/anton/.ros/log/6e6c07b8-7389-11df-9736-0026b0e3798c/test_tf-11*.log

Does anybody have an idea what might be wrong here?

Thanks,
Anton
