Hi everyone, since the past several days I have been having issues with libtinyxml I guess. This is what happens:

iitrobotics@iitrobotics-Satellite-T135:~$ rosrun rviz rviz
/opt/ros/electric/stacks/visualization/rviz/bin/rviz: error while loading shared libraries: libtinyxml.so.2.6.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm not sure how to correct this. Thanks for any help

The ROS repository used to contain a backported libtinyxml2.6.2 for Natty, but it has been removed for some reason, although the built packages still need it. You can download it from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tinyxml/. You need the libtinyxml2.6.2_2.6.2-1_*.deb file for your architecture (i386 or amd64).

I assumed this was a temporary problem. Is there going to be an official fix, or should I open a ticket?

We realized we had the backport accidentally in our repo and removed it. The latest debs in the repo should have been rebuilt to use the native tinyxml version, if that's not true please do ticket it.

Worked great. Thanks for submitting the ticket

The debs have been fixed on Maverick and Natty to use the built in version. An update and upgrade should fix it.

It's fixed now. Thanks for the swift update!

I have tinyxml showing that it has been installed in ubuntu software center, yet I still get the above error. Any ideas why? This happened after I updated ROS-electric 10 min ago. The above comments imply that this should have already been fixed by now... Note: I tried to doing the sudo apt-get upgrade as well after the update and still nothing.

Try the following command to see if your ROS is linked against version 2.5.3: ldd $(rospack find rviz)/bin/rviz | grep tinyxml

Yep, did the command and its linked to 2.5.3. I am new to linux as well so how do I go about changing the link?

asrinivasan31 ( 2011-10-27 02:42:24 -0600 )edit

The link is perfectly fine, unless you have Ubuntu 11.10. Try: sudo apt-get install libtinyxml2.5.3

roehling ( 2011-10-27 03:05:20 -0600 )edit

Thank you! It seems I already had the libtinyxml2.5.3 in the rospack directory under /tools but somehow didn't get installed? Anyway, doing it your way works.

I just updated ros-electric (Dec 18) on Maverick and had the same problem. Installing the correct libtinyxml manually fixed the problem, but it appears the debs are still broken :(
