Elevation Mappiing node dies even in demo
Hi,
So currently I'm trying to use the elevation mapping package with the turtlebot demos as given in the readme page of the repo. I have the following packages in my catkin_ws:
- eigen
- elevation_ mapping
- grid_map
- kindr_ros
- pcl
- perception_pcl
- turtlebot3
I use the catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release command to build the workspace.
There is no problem in building, but as soon as I run roslaunch elevation_mapping_demos turtlesim3_waffle_demo.launch I get a process has died message, and only the rviz opens.

But when I run the rqt_graph, I see that the elevation mapping node crashes

I have tried the issues #120 #85 #77 #81 #33 and #49. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Edit: Output from roswtf

Hey @Bibbidi-Babbidi-Boo I can not confirm the issue on my setup.
Are you using ubuntu 18.04 and ROS melodic?
Yes, I'm using ROS Melodic with Ubuntu 18.04
Hi @maximilianwulf were you able to replicate the issue? Can you tell me the versions of all packages you use
Hey @Bibbidi-Babbidi-Boo, no not on my machine. Can you build it in debug and show the backtrace, that is the only possibility I see to debug it.
And if possible can you also tell me the versions of all packages you use
Attach a gdb instance to your launch file: http://wiki.ros.org/roslaunch/Tutorials/Roslaunch%20Nodes%20in%20Valgrind%20or%20GDB
And then as soon as you run into the segmentation fault enter bt. https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Backtrace.html

Here it is
Can you next go to frame 0 with the command f 0 and then enter list to show at which position the segmentation fault happens.
1 ../sysdeps/x86/dl-procinfo.c: No such file or directory. I see the same error for all the frames
@maximilianwulf Any idea what this could be?
Hey @Bibbidi-Babbidi-Boo hard to say at this point, can you share the core dump?

Hey, the pasted output does not really help, sorry.
Which kernel version, OS version, ROS version, elevation mapping version and grid map version do you have?
Kernel version: Linux 5.4.0-42-generic x86_64 OS version: Ubuntu 18.04.5 ROS version: melodic elevation mapping version: 0.7.0 grid_map version: 1.6.2
Hm, everything looks good to me.
I think if you could get the list of this frame:
#0 0x00007ffff7badd67 in elevation_mapping::SensorProcessorBase::SensorProcessorBase(ros::NodeHandle&, tf::TransformListener&) ()
from /home/rishab/catkin_ws/devel/lib/libelevation_mapping_library.so
Then we could figure it out.
