[ros-users] gmapping errors

[Rishi Bedi]

Thanks for your help -- writing to a bagfile works now --- I set it to
record right into my home directory to take care of any permissions
problems.
I still can't get gmapping to generate a map from a bagfile, though.
That too worked last week, before p2os_teleop. Now, when I run "rosbag
play <filename>" in conjunction with "rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping
scan:=scan" (or base_scan, if I'm using the downloaded bag file), this
error message is repeatedly displayed:

"[ WARN] [WallTime: 1279722421.991972640]:
TF_OLD_DATA ignoring data from the past for frame /base_link at time
1.27972e+09 according to authority /play_1279722419677246299
Possible reasons are listed at " <-- it doesn't display where these
possible reasons are listed.

Thanks again,
Rishi
