player/stage/gazebo help

http://yorkroboticist.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html


and a tutorial Player/stage tutorial

SLAM tutorial : SLAM
Excellent slam example: slam for dummies

didn't find any example for player/stage 3.*, so i installed player 2.0.5, and stage 2.0.3

got the following error

unable to open color database /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt :
No such file or directory (stage.c stg_lookup_color)

To correct this problem, player/stage needs a link to the X11 color map in the place it expects:

sudo ln -s /usr/X11/share/X11/rgb.txt /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt


detailed solution: here

Java client for player/stage: here
