Thanks for the suggestion, Toby. We are at one of those points were
enough code has been written to create/port drivers in order to use
libgazebo directly, that one doubts about changing gears now, but
this is definitely worth looking into.
Cheers,

Hi,
Just a slightly tangential note, it is in theory possible to build
player with a minimal set of libraries and bind it all together
without the transport layers. This would probably be a reasonable
amount of up front work, but you would then have access to the full
range of player drivers, and this could possibly fit within the
constraints you have.
If you only need CMVision, then this would be a lot more work than
just porting the driver to your system, but if you need a greater
range of the player drivers then possibly it would be worth your
while.

Hi Nate,
Thanks for the info. I think limiting gazebo to the simulation domain
is the right choice. Had we not some architectural constraints with
our app, I would use player in an instant. It is by far one of the
best (and cleanest--conceptually speaking) robot control servers I
have seen in a while. Alas, I can't, not for this project at least.
So will definitely look in tho the driver for tips to start a rewrap.
Thanks again.
Best,
