[Roboticsprimer-users] iCreate/gumstix

[Robotics P. u. h. l. <rob...@li...>]

OK so I applied 6 volts to the gumstix and it boots.

The instructions for changing /etc/network/interfaces so it will boot with a specified address do not work, at least not in my case. When I put 
iface mwlan0 inet 192.168.0.1
and reboot the gumstix it says 192.168.0.1 is not a method.
However with the original interfaces file it seems to work ok with, so far, the address
always being 192.168.1.104. This I can work around.

When I go to intro and run ./intro client.xml after changing the address I get
Loading config file[client.xml]
Trying to connect to [192.168.1.104:6665]
calling connect
done
playerc error   : connect call on [192.168.1.104:6665] failed with error [111:Connection refused]
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'PlayerCc::PlayerError'
Aborted (core dumped)

when I try running player player.cfg with the .cfg file given in the mail i get
john@john-desktop:~/roboticsprimer-0.1/player$ player player.cfg

error   : Couldn't find driver "create"
error   : failed to parse config file player.cfg

I have some questions
1) should my host computer be running player, if so how?
2)should the gumstix computer be running something? If so what? and how do I down load it?
3) does anyone know the correct way to set up /etc/network/interfaces

If there is anyone out there who has got further than I have in setting up iCreate/gumstix I would appreciate a reply. I  sense I am close and probably  with some
trial and error will get the thing working. Once I do I will write up my notes so others will have a easer time.
