Additional setup

User repositories

you should add <iCub>/bin to your PATH by editing your ~/.bashrc like this:

 PATH=$PATH:~/iCub/bin/
 ICUB_DIR=~/iCub/ <-- needs to change
 export ICUB_DIR
 ICUB_ROOT=$ICUB_DIR
 export ICUB_ROOT

You should also edit ~/.bash_env adding these lines:

 export ICUB_DIR=$HOME/iCub <-- needs to change
 export ICUB_ROOT=$ICUB_DIR

this is needed when you connect non-interactively via ssh to a Cortex computer, for instance when execute a "yarp run ..." on a Cortex, from Chico2.

Be aware that Ubuntu 7.10 (the version currently installed on the cluster) has a conflict with iKin, specifically with iCub/conf/FindIPOPT.cmake (used by iKin): for now, in order to compile iKin, change the following line of FindIPOPT.cmake from

  SET(IPOPT_LIB   ${IPOPT_LIB} gfortranbegin gfortran)

to

  SET(IPOPT_LIB   ${IPOPT_LIB} gfortran)
