Hi I have installed bullet-2.78 on fedora 14. Now I am trying to install gazebo. However, it keeps giving me the following error:

[ 93%] Building CXX object server/CMakeFiles/gazebo-exec.dir/main.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any help would be much appreciated

'installing' Bullet system wide is not supported (although there are options to do it), you better simply add the Bullet sources to a project and use the same build system. This way, you avoid problems that Bullet is compiled with different settings than the project.

Thanks,

Hi Erwin
Thanks for the reply. I am new to linux.
Is there any link that shows how to add bullet source to gazebo and build the gazebo?

I'm not familiar with gazebo. It is best to ask the gazebo developers (who integrated Bullet) to help sorting out this issue.

Thanks!

I have solved the problem. I am using Fedora 14 and was trying to install gazebo 0.10.0.

Change the CMakeList.txt in bullet-2.78
16 OPTION(USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION "Use double precision" ON)
207 OPTION(INSTALL_LIBS "Set when you want to install libraries" ON)

Then install bullet using the following commands
# cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DBUILD_EXTRAS=OFF -DBUILD_DEMOS=OFF -DGULT_INCLUDE_DIR=Gult -DBT_USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION=ON
# make
# make install
# ldconfig

For more detail check http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/a ... =Main_Page

To check the btStaticPlaneShape, use the command:
# nm --dynamic --demangle /usr/local/lib/libBulletCollision.so|grep "btStaticPlaneShape("
It should show now double.
