Troubleshooting

General

• If gazebo-yarp-plugins does not compile complaning about an -fPIC option missing, check that you compiled yarp with shared library option enabled.
• If Gazebo complains about not finding the libgazebo_yarp_*.so files, check if you properly defined the GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH enviroment variable.
• If Gazebo complains that a yarp server is not available, remember to launch a yarpserver on your machine (i.e. open a new terminal a launch the yarpserver command).
• If Gazebo crashes without any error message while loading a model using gazebo-yarp-plugins, you have issue with shared library linking. Probably gazebo-yarp-plugins is linked against a manually installed library (for example boost), while the gazebo binary is linking against the system version of the same library. For more information read issue 71 discussion or file a new issue to get help from the developers.

Old Gazebo Versions

• All the plugins compile fine on the latest version of Gazebo, but for some plugins compilation is disabled for old versions of Gazebo, see plugins/CMakeLists.txt.
