Do you have the stage-playerplugin package installed? Also, you'll need to copy a few more files to your working directory. simple.cfg relies on simple.world and a couple of .inc files (also found in /usr/share/stage/worlds)
Hi Rich, (In reply to comment #1) > Do you have the stage-playerplugin package installed? I did not have this installed. > > Also, you'll need to copy a few more files to your working directory. > simple.cfg relies on simple.world and a couple of .inc files (also found in > /usr/share/stage/worlds) Yeah. I ran it in the /usr/share/stage/worlds directory and it works now. I was wondering if it makes sense to pull in the stage-playerplugin package along with stage? For newbies with player/stage (which I am at the moment), it would make it a little simpler. If that isn't possible, should we start populating the wiki with some pages on how to use the fedora robotics packages, the ones that are available? Thanks again, Ankur

Though looking at it now, it would make sense to keep all the *.cfg files with the stage-playerplugin package, and only provide *.world and *.inc files with the base Stage package.

I somehow missed the link on the SIGs/Robotics page. Looks great. :) > > I kept them separate because a Stage user won't necessarily use Player, and > vice versa.

That does seem logical but it isn't a necessary change. Users need both packages installed, and will end up with the required files either way. I've created a category for Robotics on the wiki. Will make it a tad bit easier to find all the various pages https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Robotics Thanks, Ankur
