openni_camera glibc error

Question

I am using ROS on Ubuntu 10.04, and the command "roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch" has suddenly started to give me an error. Is there a way to fix this?

robot@peoplebot2:~$ roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch

I have followed dornhege's advice from the comments in the answer by fergs. When I only use the command "roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch", it runs correctly. However, when I try to use other packages that require the openni_camera, such as rviz or openni_tracker, this new error occurs. Does anyone have an idea for fixing it?

Lucid (10.04) uses GLIBC 2.11, so lucid packages should not be linked against 2.12. Are you sure that you selected the right repository when you did step 1.2 of installation? I would guess that you might have typed "maverick" instead of "lucid" thus installing packages that use GLIBC 2.12.

@qdocehf I would suggest removing the second question and making a separate posting for it.

Do you have any ideas for fixing this new error? I have edited my question to include the new problem.

Comment by dornhege on 2011-07-07:
Can your try running apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and eventually apt-get --reinstall install openni-dev. That should get you up to date to the current lucid packages.

To verify, what does: apt-cache policy ros-diamondback-openni-kinect give you?

Comment by qdocehf on 2011-07-06:
Yes, I definitely used the lucid installation. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, so I don't think that could be the problem.
