ROS MoveIt PR2 Demo Launch Fails
Hi
An interesting one this as I'm not sure whether anyone else will be effected by this but here goes.
From a fresh install of ROS hydro and MoveIt hydro and installation of the 'ros-hydro-moveit-full-pr2' package I have been trying to run the simple moveit demo.launch file
i.e 'roslaunch pr2_moveit_config demo.launch'
However it unfortunately fails to load / work giving the error.

Now I have never had this error before and it has also cropped up when trying to load up another moveit package for fanuc.
Certainly this is new to me, though I do seem to have an poor run in with action servers

It is possible to go the long way around through loading up rviz separately, along with a robot_description and then adding motion planning / robot_state within Rviz, however without running move_group I get no planning library loaded and running move_group.launch separately also fails.
What I find odd is that two weeks ago everything ran fine, on two separate computers, I go on holiday, take my slow netbook and install similar two the others the same ROS hydro / moveit etc and it runs fine. In fact I can load the damn thing up and run demo.launch with no problems right now, but coming back the other two computers seem to no longer like me, even after a purge and reinstall of ROS.
Has anything changed in the last two weeks with regards to MoveIt or move_group?
I'm kind of worried on whether I should touch my slow netbook at all in case it gets the same disease :)
Good question! In case you don't get any answers here, you should probably post to the [moveit google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/moveit-users), perhaps also with a link to this question. Most of the moveit support seems to be happening over there.
I've managed to somehwat get around this problem but probably not in the correct way. I git cloned moveit_core and moveit_ros and catkin_maked them in my src, for some reason this partially failed and didn't complete moveit_ros_move_group, so I copied over the move_group node from opt/ros/... into the devel/lib/moveit_ros_move_group and it all seemed to work fine :S
