[ros-users] gmapping errors

[David Feil-Seifer]

We at USC have been using P2OS concurrently with gmapping for months
now, so I know that it CAN work. Let me help you debug this problem in
more detail. Can you do me a favor and send me a link to that bag file
that you recorded? Also, can you fill me in on what OS, ros release
and version of the p2os stack (preferably the output of svn info from
the p2os stack directory). That will help me figure this out in more
detail.
