Hi, <div><br></div><div>FYI: Please ask this sort of question on <a href="http://answers.ros.org">answers.ros.org</a> in the future.  It&#39;s much easier for others to find already answered questions there.  </div><div><br>

</div><div>But since i&#39;m replying here anyway...  </div><div><div><br></div><div>I did some digging and it appears that there&#39;s a bug in the viewvc support on the upgraded kforge which is padding some downloads, including the assimp tarball.  We&#39;re working on fixing it.  In the mean time you can manually install assimp by doing the following: </div>

<div><br></div><div>svn checkout <a href="https://vcs@kforge.ros.org/rosrelease/sourcedeps/assimp/">https://vcs@kforge.ros.org/rosrelease/sourcedeps/assimp/</a> /tmp/assimp</div><div>cd /tmp/assimp</div><div>tar -xf assimp--2.0.863-sdk.tar</div>

<div>cd assimp--2.0.863-sdk</div><div><br></div><div>Then run the install commands in the rdmanifest:</div><div><div>echo &quot;Installing Assimp2&quot;</div><div>mkdir -p build</div><div>cd build</div><div>cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr</div>

<div>make</div><div>sudo make install</div><div>sudo bash -c &quot;echo 2ed0b9954bcb2572c0dade8f849b9260 &gt; /usr/include/assimp/assimp-version.installed&quot;</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Make sure to do the last line so that the next time rosdep tries to install it will detect that it&#39;s already present and will skip it.  </div>
