After updating Gazebo to 1.3 under Groovy I get an Ogre Plugin error

Question

Hi,

I am using ROS Groovy and I updated Gazebo to 1.3 (binary version), under Ubuntu 12.04.

For testing it I got a simple empty.world:

<?xml version ='1.0'?>
<sdf version ='1.3'>
  <world name='default'>
    <include>
      <uri>model://ground_plane</uri>
    </include>

    <include>
      <uri>model://sun</uri>
    </include>

  </world>
</sdf>

After I source:

/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/gazebo/share/gazebo-1.3/setup.sh /opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/setup.bash

and run gzserver:

rosrun gazebo gzserver ~/../worlds/empty.world

I got the following error msg:

Error [RenderEngine.cc:374] Unable to load Ogre Plugin[/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/visualization_common/ogre/ogre/lib/OGRE/RenderSystem_GL]. Rendering will not be possible.Make sure you have installed OGRE and Gazebo properly.
Error [Rendering.cc:37] Failed to load the Rendering engine subsystem
unable to find OpenGL rendering system. OGRE is probably installed incorrectly. Double check the OGRE cmake output, and make sure OpenGL is enabled.

Did something happen to the OpenGL libraries during the update, or is this a bug?

Thanks, Andrei

Hi, Andrei

I had the same error too. I have found that OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH was not correct. There was a row

export OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.7.4

in file /opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/scripts/setup.sh However, folder [x86_64-linux-gnu] is empty on my computer. I have found OGRE-1.7.4 in folder [/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu], so I replace the row on following row:

export OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.7.4

Now I have not this error.

Best Regards, Alex

Hi Alex, thanks for answering, for me the solution it doesn't work. I actually have the libraries in x86_64-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.7.4. I will try a reinstall.

I figured it out thanks to your answer, I had a different path in the setup.sh, which changed with the update. And I guess you had to change it to i386-linux-gnu because you are running on 32 bits.

Thanks! Works for 32 bit 12.04 Ubuntu

Answer 2

Solution: in
/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazeb/setup.bash

I had to change the OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH to:
export OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.7.4

UPDATE: according to @Ryan:

on Ubuntu 11.10, change OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH to /usr/lib/OGRE in both

/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/setup.bash

and

/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/scripts/setup.sh

Answer 3

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 at the moment. I needed to change OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH to /usr/lib/OGRE in both

/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/setup.bash

and

/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/scripts/setup.sh
