Gavin, <br>The directory /opt/ros is read only except for super users.  You will need to sudo to edit files there.  However this is highly not recommended! unless you are sure that you want to be doing this.  <br><br>rosmake passes because there are ROS_NOBUILD flags installed and it doesn&#39;t try to build the prebuilt binary installed directories.  <br>

<br>The problems you are describing does not sound like a problem with the build.  I don&#39;t expect that recompiling will help you in this case.  <br><br>I would suggest that you try `sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` to make sure you&#39;re at the latest version.  <br>

<br>And if you are, please send some screen shots to explain more clearly your problem.  <br><br>Also if you could determine the version of rviz on the machine which is working and that which is not.  `cat /opt/ros/cturtle/stacks/visualization/CMakeLists.txt` and look for the version number.  <br>

Hey Everyone,<br>I&#39;ve been having some trouble with Rviz lately.  When I load my model,  the perspective is off.  For instance, the robot I have modeled is suspended by a stand and its feet hang over the center of a circular plate. However, when I rotate the model, its feel appear to be hidden by the far side of the circular plate, even when rotated.  I&#39;ve checked the model on another computer and it works just fine.  I&#39;ve tried the make clean/rosmake on rviz and I get this error:<br>
