While I am waiting for the Logitech Pro 9000 camera to arrive I am provisionally working with an IBM webcam.
Today I installed and compiled the usb_cam package created by bosch.
The repository was taken from the following source: https://bosch-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bosch-ros-pkg/trunk/stacks/bosch_drivers/usb_cam
And the only trouble I went through during compilation was the following message: mkdir: cannot create directory `build': Permission denied
This problem was solved by changing the permissions of the directory using chmod as follows:
$ sudo chmod ugo+rwx usb_cam
Aftewards, I tested rviz's execution (since I am using a new laptop because my own is going through some BIOS dilemmas... long story...). And while i was compiling I got the following error:
Caught exception while loading: OGRE EXCEPTION(7:InternalErrorException)
It was easily solved by installing some of the missing packages of my video card:
$ nvidia-cg-toolkit-installer --install
I am currently trying to recover the configuration of my laptop without losing any data in order to continue with my navigation tasks. Meanwhile I am starting to make some tests with the mentioned camera.
