Turtlebot 2/Kobuki installation problems

edit

I just received the Turtlebot2/Kobuki. I installed ROS using the included memory stick. Now I am trying to install all of the remaining software indicated on the Kobuki Installation ROS page.

The first problem occurs because of a dead link referenced for a rosinstall under

2. RosInstall

I got around this by finding a cached version of the page online and doing a local file rosinstall.

The second problem occurred when I attempted a rosdep install kobuki_node under 3. Rosdep.

This returns the following: ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: kobuki_node: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [kobuki_safety_controller].

I ignored the error and compiled. However, I am unable to run any of the launch files to get the Kobuki up and running. I get various errors that seem to be related to the fact that rosdep install kobuki_node failed.

E.g.: When I try to bring up the Kobuki with the minimal.launch file I get the following:

[ERROR] [1360192717.868409930]: Failed to load nodelet [/mobile_base] of type [kobuki_node/KobukiNodelet]: Could not find library corresponding to plugin kobuki_node/KobukiNodelet. Make sure the plugin description XML file has the correct name of the library and that the library actually exists.

log file: /home/turtlebot/.ros/log/5a31d5b2-70ab-11e2-aa29-485d60f58202/mobile_base-2*.log

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!
