[Roboticsprimer-users] Player cvs

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

Hi Nate
I'm having no luck downloading the cvs version of player. I enter the command below
copied from the web site in your link. It asks for a password, I press enter as stated in link and it immediately terminates. As far as I can determine nothing has been downloaded. I have never user cvs before, had to download it using synaptic package manager to get this far, so its quite probable I missing a obvious step. 
Any advice?
I have a little time now to try again to get this working but am not really optimistic. It seems a stretch to blame  a segfault in intro on player  which, after all, can only send messages to intro. intro seems to be trying to construct a GUI when it crashes
My version of player is 2.0.4 from 2 May 2007 which is still the version offered at the sourcefourge site. It works fine in a player/stage simulation on one machine.
Perhaps if you would share some information I would feel better about the task.
1) Do you have it working in your environment now? If so please describe your environment.
2) When did you get your version of player? Have you tried it with other versions.?
If so which ones?
3)Has anyone else been successful in getting  this  to work? If so could you put me in touch?
4)Do you have any diagnostic  tools ? Perhaps  a dummy version  of intro  that doesn't  try to talk to  player? So we could at  least  determine  if  player  is the  culprit .
