trouble building openvibe on linux

[nicolasbruneau]

Hi,
I am trying to install openvibe on linux (ubuntu 10.04 LTS) but it doesn't seem to work

First I used the following svn line as said in another topic

svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/openvibe

it works

but then when I try to install the dependencies, it doesn't work for VRPN. At first I thought that the ftp link was dead, but it is just awfully long. I downloaded the zip file then i put it on a website where i could download it by changing the url in the script file.

Here's the result

./linux-install_dependencies

Trying to install package [vrpn]...

i only put the part that concerns VRPN of course

Do you have any idea of what I should do to deal with this problem?

PS: I cannot change distribution the software for the device I use only works with ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Dear nicolasbruneau,

thank you for your interest in OpenViBE and welcome on this forum.

You obviously modified the dependencies installer so that it looks for VRPN on localhost, which obviously has a web server and serves an invalid (Windows ?) file.

I suggest that you try with the original dependencies installer.

Best regards,
Yann

but the zip file i downloaded was actually the one that would have been downloaded by the original script. so if it is invalid it would have been for every one trying to build openvibe on linux.

The original does not work because the ftp download is too slow, there is a timeout.

[yrenard]

Nicolas,

the file at ftp://ftp.cs.unc.edu/pub/packages/GRIP/ ... _07_26.zip is the correct one. This file does not contain the following files :

Code: Select all

Archive: /home/nicolas/Bureau/openvibe2/openvibe/trunk/scripts/software/arch/vrpn_07_26.zip
creating: vrpn_07_26/
inflating: vrpn_07_26/vrpn.cfg
inflating: vrpn_07_26/vrpn.lib
inflating: vrpn_07_26/vrpn_print_devices.exe
inflating: vrpn_07_26/vrpn_server.exe
inflating: vrpn_07_26/wiiuse.dll 

Please, if you don't want to use the correct URL, just update the file on your local server

Yann

[nicolasbruneau]

ok sorry about that.

but now i get this

Archive: /home/nicolas/Téléchargements/vrpn_07_26.zip
[/home/nicolas/Téléchargements/vrpn_07_26.zip]

[yrenard]

Where does this message come from ?

[nicolasbruneau]

well actually i get this message when i try to unzip the archive. I get the same thing when the script tries.

[yrenard]

Probably the download did not correctly finish. Re download the file

I just downloaded it and it is ok.

Yann

[nicolasbruneau]

Ok i know the problem

the file is empty.

it is just that when firefox timeouts it creates the file anyway but empty. I'll try again at home, i might have more chances this time.

[nicolasbruneau]

ok, the connection at work was making the install to fail. sorry about that.

do I have to launch the designer in a certain way?
When i launch the designer by entering ./ov-designer.sh i get this

did the installation fail somewhere?

[nicolasbruneau]

here's what i get when i run the debug

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb6b43f8a in std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > std::operator+<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >(char const*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&) () from /usr/lib/libOgreMain.so.1.7.3

does that mean that ogre has not been succesfully installed?

[jlegeny]

Hello,

looking at the path from which the error comes from it seems like OpenViBE is trying to use a native Ogre installation. It indeed seems that the ogre dependency was not correctly (or at all) built by the install dependencies script and that OpenViBE now links to an Ogre installation made previously.

Can you please verify that Ogre is well present in the scripts/software/lib (in the OpenViBE root directory) folder?

[nicolasbruneau]

here's the content of the OGRE folder

is it what should be expected?

[jlegeny]

For the lib/OGRE folder it is as expected, there should be more libraries directly in the lib folder as well, such as the libOgreMain.so

I think that the problem is that during the compilation of OpenViBE the build process used your native ogre installation. A simple solution would be to uninstall your native Ogre and then re-run the OpenViBE build process. I don't know whether you can or want to do that though.

Try deleting the scripts/software/hit/ogre.hit file, re-running the install dependencies script and re-building OpenViBE, check for any error messages in the scripts/software/log/ogre.log.

[nicolasbruneau]

well after uninstall ogre from openvibe as well as from my computer and then rerun the linux-install-dependencies, the linux-build fails. I reinstalled the ogre library with apt-get and the build "works". but designer is still not functioning

If i don't find a solution i will have to launch the acquisition server on my computer and then the designer on another one but that's not really a good idea for my application

on what version of ogre do you work?
