1. Pyro Installation: Debian

Instructions for installing Pyro under Debian. This assumes at least Pyro version 3.3.2.

Yannick Brosseau has created Debian packages (.deb) of Player, Stage, and librtk (and is planning Gazebo). You can find his packages at:

http://scientist.dyndns.org/debianrobot

These instructions do not incorporate those .deb packages yet.

1.1. Numeric

sudo apt-get install python-numeric

1.2. SWIG

sudo apt-get install swig

1.3. PIL

sudo apt-get install python-imaging
sudo apt-get install python-imaging-tk

1.4. Tkinter

sudo apt-get install python2.3-tk
sudo apt-get install tix8.1

1.5. Pyro

1.5.1. Video for linux support

apt-get install libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev

/!\ TODO: edited V4L.cpp and V4L.h, comment out competing V4L macros

1.5.2. Khepera simulator

There wasn't a proper libXm.so file, but libXm.so.2 was already present in /usr/lib, so we just added a link from libXm.so to libXm.so.2. Same problem for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt*. 

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libXm.so.2 libXm.so
ln -s libXt.so.6 libXt.so

1.5.3. Pyro

If you have a CVS account:

First time: 

cd /usr/local/
cvs -d anonymous@bubo.brynmawr.edu:/home/CVS co pyro

Thereafter: 

cd /usr/local/pyro
cvs -d anonymous@bubo.brynmawr.edu:/home/CVS update -d

Otherwise, if you don't have a CVS account: 

wget http://dangermouse.brynmawr.edu/pyrobot/tars/pyro-latest.tgz
tar xfz pyro-latest.tgz
cd pyro

Then make it: 

sudo make
accepted most defaults (n on BT848 option, y on rest)

You can get an updated Pyro tar ball, and drop it on top of an older Pyro version. Just remake it.

1.6. Gazebo
