After installing a package open_ptrack ( https://github.com/OpenPTrack/open_pt... ) on my PC, Rviz didn't start. So, I downloaded a package rviz from the web site ( http://wiki.ros.org/rviz ) to compile the source with catkin_make, but Rviz doesn't start yet. A terminal on my PC tells me next error.

ken@ken:~$ rosrun rviz rviz
[ INFO] [1396998258.516054297]: rviz version 1.11.0
[ INFO] [1396998258.516185316]: compiled against OGRE version 1.7.4 (Cthugha)

[ INFO] [1396998259.050340409]: OpenGl version: 4.2 (GLSL 4.2).
*** glibc detected *** /home/ken/catkin_ws/devel/lib/rviz/rviz: corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000017a85d0 ***
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 221: dl_open_worker: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args->nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

The error explains that there is inconsistency on my PC. Does anyone have same experience as me? Doesn't anyone know the way to resolve it? or What's the cause? My PC has ROS Hydro on Ubuntu 12.04. Thank you in advance!

In case of trying sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-rviz

I strongly suggest installing rviz from debs rather than trying to build it from source. The source version likely has unreleased changes.

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-rviz

EDIT

An additional problem here was that the apt sources were not configured properly. In the apt sources.list, the codename must match the Ubuntu distribution (see the comments).

For additional help troubleshooting rviz, take a look at the rviz troubleshooting guide

@ahendrix: I'm grateful for your quick response. I also tried it. I added the error to above article.

@ahendrix: Your help seems to make me understand. There is no libassimp3 on Ubuntu 12.04 (precious). This package is installed on a quantal and later. The others are same reason as libassimp3. Why does rviz package require these package on Ubuntu 12.04? Thank you!

It sounds like your package manager is in a bad state. You should probably try to figure that out. I would try installing rviz with aptitude, or trying to install each of the offending packages manually until you get a more useful error.

I can install rviz without issues on Precise; on my machine, it depends on libassimp2. Perhaps you have the wrong distro name in your apt sources.list for ROS?

I checked a ros-latest.list in /etc/apt/souces.list.d. The article wrote the next sentence.

deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu raring main

Yep, you have the wrong ubuntu version in your sources (raring instead of precise). That line should read: `deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu precise main`

@ahendrix: Thank you for your advice. I'd like you to convert your advice to answer. The advice means including apt sources.list for ROS.

I could install rviz without error, but it seems to have a problem.

ken@ken:~$ rosrun rviz rviz

This problem seems to have a relationship with OGRE.
