This should only be a problem for older versions of MobotWare. MobotWare has been updated, and the conflict is resolved in the current version.

We are currently working on solving the problems between ROS and MobotWare.

There are problems with

libcv-dev
libhighgui-dev

and the OpenCV package from ROS.

This is a walkthrough on how to solve the problem.

It does not solv all problems yet, we are still working on it. The testing stopped at bayer2rgb, they may bee more problems thatt needs to be fixed in order to run an older version of MobotWare alongside ROS.

There are no plans for updating this page because of the new version of MobotWare, but we plan on leaving it as is.

First remove

libcv-dev
libhighgui

if you haven´t removed them, they will be removed automatically when you install ROS.

Then install ROS, when it is installed return here.

Execute these commands - Check you version of opencv to make sure you create the right links.

sudo ln -s /usr/include/opencv-2.3.1/opencv2 /usr/include/opencv2
sudo ln -s /usr/include/opencv-2.3.1/opencv /usr/include/opencv

Update

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/opencv-2-3-1.pc

so it look like this

(This is only the first file that has to be updated. Try to find a solution so it can all be written in one file so you don´t have to change it.)
