Hi,
for some experimental reasons I have to install ros2 on Lubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, that leaves me only the ros2 version earlier than alpha6. So when I source the terminal and run talker, it gave me an error message:
talker: error while loading shared libraries: libddskernel.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
I’m guessing I missed out some dependencies uninstalled, but the latest intalling tutorial is oriented to Beta version I suppose( GitHub - ros2/ros2: The Robot Operating System, is a meta operating system for robots. ). So does anyone here still knows how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!
In alpha 6 and earlier we were shiping ros2 with Opensplice as the default DDS implementation. libddskernel.so is an opensplice library.
To install it you need to add packages.osrfoundation.org to your sources:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys D2486D2DD83DB69272AFE98867170598AF249743
sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gazebo-latest.list'
and install libopensplice64:
sudo apt-get install libopensplice64
The installation instructions for alpha6 are available here: https://github.com/ros2/ros2/wiki/Linux-Install-Binary/2610c847225134f0aaf7d24c265298f6775e3abc
Please be aware that many things changed in ROS 2 since alpha 6 (API, features, documentation, supported middleware) so we encourage users to use the latest release. You can run beta2 in a docker container for example.
$ docker run -it ubuntu:xenial
