Matt, You are very close, but a couple of points:
1) You should be able to use the latest Player/Stage from their repositories 2) You will need to use Pyro 5.0 which is the version compatible with Player/Stage 2.0. See http://pyrorobotics.org/?page=PyroInstallation about getting Pyro from CVS 3) You could also run from our Knoppix-based LiveCD. See http://pyrorobotics.org/?page=PyroLiveCD. If you have particular files you would like included, let us know and we could include those. Then students wouldn't even need to install anything. 4) Pyro likes Stage worlds to have a simulation device on port 7000. If you make your own world files, make sure you add that. (We should clean up our files and delete the old methods so it isn't so confusing. Sorry about that.) Let us know if you have any problems. -Doug On Tue, July 10, 2007 7:25 am, matt studley said: > Hi all > > I'm installing on Ubuntu 7.0.4 'Feisty Faun', i.e. Debian. > > I want to provide a nice - i.e. python - interface to player/stage for > teaching navigation. > > I thought I'd inform you of the problems and (partial?) work-arounds > I've had as some of the documentation I've found for a debian install > seems obsolescent. > > As you'll see - I get some of the way but finally fail!
