ros-kinetic-ros-base failed to install.

Hi there arch forum.
I had the robot operating system installed on my laptop for the last 4 months and it worked great until a couple of days ago when i wanted to develop a GPS node with kalman filter.

The first problem i noticed is that several libboost_ files in /usr/lib/ was updated from 1.66.0 to 1.67.0 and recompiling the ros core did not fix the problem so i wrote a smal script and thought that it wold work.

#!/bin/bash
# find every file containing 1.67.
# find . -iname 'libboost_*.so.1.67*' | sed 's/.\///'
NEWFILE_NUMBER=1.67.0
SYMLINK_OLD_NUMBER=1.66.0
NEWFILE="libboost_*.so.$NEWFILE_NUMBER"
SEED_FILTER="s/$NEWFILE_NUMBER/$SYMLINK_OLD_NUMBER/"

for file in $(find . -iname "$NEWFILE" | sed 's/.\///')
do
    SYMLINK=$(echo $file | sed "$SEED_FILTER")
    if ! [[ -f $SYMLINK ]]; then
        echo "ln -s $file $SYMLINK"
        ln -s $file $SYMLINK
    else
        echo "file $file did exist don't create symlik"
    fi
done

But that didn't help so I removed all ROS packages on my computer to do a total reinstall of the ROS system.

#!/bin/bash
sudo pacman -R ros-kinetic-actionlib ros-kinetic-actionlib-msgs ros-kinetic-bond ros-kinetic-bond-core ros-kinetic-bondcpp ros-kinetic-bondpy ros-kinetic-catkin ros-kinetic-class-loader ros-kinetic-cmake-modules ros-kinetic-common-msgs ros-kinetic-cpp-common ros-kinetic-diagnostic-msgs ros-kinetic-dynamic-reconfigure ros-kinetic-gencpp ros-kinetic-geneus ros-kinetic-genlisp ros-kinetic-genmsg ros-kinetic-gennodejs ros-kinetic-genpy ros-kinetic-geometry-msgs ros-kinetic-message-filters ros-kinetic-message-generation ros-kinetic-message-runtime ros-kinetic-mk ros-kinetic-nav-msgs ros-kinetic-nodelet ros-kinetic-nodelet-core ros-kinetic-nodelet-topic-tools ros-kinetic-pluginlib ros-kinetic-ros ros-kinetic-ros-base ros-kinetic-ros-comm ros-kinetic-ros-core ros-kinetic-ros-environment ros-kinetic-rosbag ros-kinetic-rosbag-migration-rule ros-kinetic-rosbag-storage ros-kinetic-rosbash ros-kinetic-rosboost-cfg ros-kinetic-rosbuild ros-kinetic-rosclean ros-kinetic-rosconsole ros-kinetic-rosconsole-bridge ros-kinetic-roscpp ros-kinetic-roscpp-core ros-kinetic-roscpp-serialization ros-kinetic-roscpp-traits ros-kinetic-roscreate ros-kinetic-rosgraph ros-kinetic-rosgraph-msgs ros-kinetic-roslang ros-kinetic-roslaunch ros-kinetic-roslib ros-kinetic-roslisp ros-kinetic-roslz4 ros-kinetic-rosmake ros-kinetic-rosmaster ros-kinetic-rosmsg ros-kinetic-rosnode ros-kinetic-rosout ros-kinetic-rospack ros-kinetic-rosparam ros-kinetic-rospy ros-kinetic-rospy-tutorials ros-kinetic-rosservice ros-kinetic-rostest ros-kinetic-rostime ros-kinetic-rostopic ros-kinetic-rosunit ros-kinetic-roswtf ros-kinetic-sensor-msgs ros-kinetic-shape-msgs ros-kinetic-smclib ros-kinetic-std-msgs ros-kinetic-std-srvs ros-kinetic-stereo-msgs ros-kinetic-topic-tools ros-kinetic-trajectory-msgs ros-kinetic-visualization-msgs ros-kinetic-xmlrpcpp

Then i tried to install ros-kinetic-ros-base by using pikaur (because ROS have literally 200 dependency's and it worked the last time).

  $ pikaur --rebuild --noedit --nodif -S ros-kinetic-ros-base

But got this error after compiling:

in short:

/usr/include/boost/date_time/time_duration.hpp:270:30: note:   no known conversion for argument 1 from ‘double’ to ‘boost::date_time::subsecond_duration<boost::posix_time::time_duration, 1000000>&&’

pastebin the entire message

Any one know how to fix this?

This seams to only happen with ROS kinetic. Trying with Melodic right now. I will investigate and report back if I'm able to install Melodic.

Symlinking sonames is a bad idea, don't do that. Soname bumps don't happen just to spite you, they happen because the ABI changes. Rebuilding and linking the affected packages against the new soname is the correct course of action, but it looks like the ROS code needs to be updated to work with the new boost library. A quick google search show you aren't alone with this problem at least: https://github.com/uzh-rpg/rpg_dvs_ros/issues/63

Mod note: Moving to AUR Issues.

First i installed ros-melodic-ros-base and that worked correctly. But when I tried to install ros-melodic-desktop i got an error saying nvidia-cg-toolkit is missing.

This was solved by installing.

$ sudo pacman -S nvidia-cg-toolkit

edit:
Perhaps add nvidia-cg-toolkit as a dependency to ros-melodic-desktop?

Totally agree with you. I didn't like to use the symlikn method but i was desperate.
Thanks for moving it to AUR issues.
