[Roboticsprimer-users] problems in intro

Hi Nate

1) I am using player 2.0.4
2) The tutorial you refer to is out of date and WILL NOT WORK with later revisions of gumstix-buildroot
3)However the latest revisions of gumstix-buildroot have FULL_RPC as the default
4)I have a toolchain with FULL_RPC and xdr support as evidenced by the messages that do get across in both directions.
5)I can ping both ways desktop to gumstix, gumstix to desktop
6)my desktop computer is always 192.168.1.101, the gumstix is 192.168.1.XXX
where XXX varies from 102 to 106
7)I am assuming the Load proxy messages on the desktop means that some messaging
got back from the gumstix. If I change the .cfg file on the gumstix I get different number of proxies. Does this seem reasonable to you?
8) I have the same version 2.0.4 of player on my desktop and on the gumstix. However I am only running it on the gumstix. I assume you ask this to see if intro would link with the correct librarys. I am only running intro on desktop. If I need anything else please advise.
9)Some one suggested that I run player on the desktop and socat on desktop and gumstix to avoid the player comm problems. Do you have any experience with this?
10)Do you know what
warning : Unhandled message for driver device=16777343:6665:4:0 type=3 subtype=2 len=1

warning : Unhandled message for driver device=16777343:6665:4:0 type=3 subtype=2 len=1
means comming from player on the gumstix? Could this be the requests that it gets NACKed? 
11) The segment fault in intro indicates to me something is BAD in intro. I assume that it would just terminate if it can't talk to player, or ignore it. Is this expected behaviour of intro? If so in what circumstances?
12)Can you tell me which versions of player, gumstix-buildroot, Linux etc you have tested this with? 

The good news is that I can cross-compile c programs and load them on the gumstix that control the Create via its OI and avoid the roboticsprimer/player issues. This may be the route I have to take.
