Hi,

When you're logging in as root, do you source your setup.bash file to get the correct ROS configuration?

You could also just run:
sudo chmod 777 /dev/rtc

And then you'd be able to access the /dev/rtc as normal user.

Cheers,

Ugo

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311

then, type 'roscore' in another shell to actually launch the master program.
