OpenRAVE R1457 Ubuntu Install

Note: Depends on Boost.

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools libxml2-dev libode-dev
sudo apt-get install libsoqt4-dev libcoin60-dev 
svn co -r 1457 https://openrave.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openrave/trunk openrave
cd openrave; mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
cd ../..

For correct integration with CMake, find "FindOpenRAVE.cmake" (it should be in the openrave/src/cppexamples directory). Copy it to the CMake Modules path (something like /usr/share/cmake-2.x/Modules). This line would be something like (change the x to your cmake version):

sudo cp openrave/src/cppexamples/FindOpenRAVE.cmake /usr/share/cmake-2.x/Modules

(Note from AJH: In my case: from a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 instalation, the cmake version was 2.8 ) so I wrote:

sudo cp openrave/src/cppexamples/FindOpenRAVE.cmake /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules

(Note from JGV: sudo apt-get install libsoqt4-dev libcoin60-dev -> sudo apt-get install libsoqt4-dev libcoin40-dev for Ubuntu 9.04)

JGVictores says the following is nice!!

In order to use the python bindings through the openravepy module, install the following packages before compiling OpenRAVE:

sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev python python-dev python-numpy python-scipy python-imaging-tk

To setup the python path in bash add the following line:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`openrave-config --python-dir`
