This loads a text interface to configure additional locales on Raspbian. Ei-
ther select “All locales” (this will eat up some disk space), or scroll down
with the arrow keys and select en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 (or any other locales rel-
evant to you). On the next screen, set the proper default language/locale
for you. It will regenerate the locale files, reset the LC_* environment vari-
ables, and resolve this issue.
Normally, you'd build your ROS stack here, but it is worth noting that ROS is migrating
away from stacks. The ROS NXT code is still configured to use stacks, as opposed to
using catkin , which is the tool that most of the Groovy ROS prefers. As a result, you'll
need to install some additional nxt dependencies manually (it doesn't help that the
ROSpbian repository is missing a lot of catkinized components, too):
$ sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-geometry-msgs ros-groovy-nav-msgs ros-
groovy-sensor-msgs \
ros-groovy-visualization-msgs ros-groovy-tf ros-groovy-image-transport
ros-groovy-laser-geometry \
ros-groovy-python-qt-binding ros-groovy-urdfdom ros-groovy-rosconsole-
bridge ros-groovy-image-geometry \
libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev ros-groovy-geometric-shapes libassimp-
dev ros-groovy-orocos-kdl \
libogre-dev libyaml-cpp-dev python-wxgtk2.8 wx2.8-headers libwxgtk2.8-dev
ros-groovy-tf-conversions \
python-usb ros-groovy-python-orocos-kdl
This will take a few minutes to complete.
Next, you'll need to build collada-dom from source. The COLLADA Document Object
Model (DOM) is an API that provides a C++ object representation of a COLLADA XML
instance document. The COLLADA format is used for interactive 3D applications, and
ROS uses it.
Download and unpack a copy of the collada-dom source tarball from SourceForge :
$ sudo mkdir /opt/ros/collada
$ cd /opt/ros/collada
$ sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/collada-dom/Collada
%20DOM/Collada%20DOM%202.4/collada-dom-2.4.0.tgz
$ sudo tar xf collada-dom-2.4.0.tgz
Make a build directory within the source directory and build and install the collada-
dom code:
$ cd collada-dom-2.4.0
$ sudo mkdir build
$ cd build
