[SOLVED] NRP from source Nest install ERROR Ubuntu 16.04

#1

Dear all,

I am trying to run the NRP from source installation on Ubuntu 16.04.
Whenever I reach the Nest part during ./update_nrp build all I receive
the following ERROR. How can I fix it that the correct packages are installed?

ERROR: pip’s legacy dependency resolver does not consider dependency conflicts when selecting packages. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.

Dear Thorben,

Unfortunately, we are dropping support for Ubuntu 16 right now, because we are releasing NRP 3.1 in a few days. It will add support for Ubuntu 20 and we can’t maintain 3 Ubuntu brands.
So I would advise you to upgrade to Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 20 support will be beta for some time). Tips for the upgrade are available from https://bitbucket.org/hbpneurorobotics/neurorobotics-platform/src/master/ubuntu18_upgrade.md.

Best regards

Dear Axel,

Thank you for the suggestion.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.
When I run “./update_nrp update all”
gazebo can not be built because of some cmake error.
It seems to me that some repositories were not updatet
correctly or something like that?
How can I solve this problem:

Gazebo

– Gazebo version 9.8.0.hbp.3.0.5
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:31 (message):
The parameter ENABLE_TESTS_COMPILATION is deprecated. The new behaviour is
to call ‘make tests’ explicitly to compile the testsuite. Calling ‘make’
or ‘make all’ won’t compile the tests

– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also “/home/nbsroot/Documents/NRP/gazebo/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log”.

Hi Thorben,

This cmake option has been removed . Perhaps you didn’t open a new shell after updating.

I’d advise to open a fresh shell, and to remove the build directories of gazebo and its requirements

rm -rf “$HBP”/{opensim,simbody,sdformat,gazebo}/build

and relaunch the build.
Best
Axel

Thanks for the fast reply.
I tried your suggestion but it did not solve the problem.
I went through the point " Troubleshooting, Reinstall an existing NRP".
This solved the dependency problem.

Best regards,
Thorben

Hi,

I was able to run the complete install and I can start the NRP platform now.
However, when I try to launch the husky holodek experiment I get the following error:

Error starting the simulation. (“service [/ros_cle_simulation/create_new_simulation] responded with an error: error processing request: ‘PythonTransferFunction’ object has no attribute ‘priority’”) (host: localhost)

I found an old forum entry with the same error but no solution for the local install:

How can I fix this problem?

Thank you and best regards,
Thorben

#7

Dear Thorben,

It seems the XML schemas in GazeboRosPackages have not be properly generated. Can you try re-running $HBP/user-scripts/configure_nrp and then maybe re-build GazeboRosPackage?

cd $HBP/GazeboRosPackages
rm -rf build devel
catkin_make

Best regards
Axel

Dear Axel,

thanks a lot,
that solved the problem.

Best regards,
Thorben
