I would always work with the cvs version, unless some major revision is in progress that would be announced here. I hope by the end of the year we will release Pyro version 5.0 which will update Player/Stage/Gazebo, clean up a couple of interfaces, release a new Pyro Live CD, new binaries for Linux, Mac, and Windows, and new rpms for Fedora Core 6.
Normally, this is all you have to do to stay up-to-date if you have already checked-out Pyro from cvs: cd pyrobot cvs update -d make and that should put everything in order. -Doug On Sun, December 3, 2006 6:28 pm, belinda thom said: > > On Dec 3, 2006, at 2:41 PM, Douglas S.
