<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Here a new Rock user writing from ESA's
ESTEC establishment in the Netherlands, precisely from the Automation and
Robotics Lab (section code TEC-MMA).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have recently installed and started
using Rock here and would like to address a couple of problems that I encountered
during this process.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Installation: the git protocol is
blocked at ESA and the bootstrap file that rock supplies for the installation
makes use of the git protocol by default. The way I chose to fix this was
to edit the bootstrap file in order to use http protocol for the downloading
process. However, I think it would be much nicer if the new user could
have both options directly available in case the git protocol is blocked
by his/her company without having to edit the bootstrap file (which may
not be evident).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Basics Tutorials: there is an error
in the ruby script in the last of the basic tutorials "Control through
a Virtual Joystick", there is a code line missing that should go at
the beginning <require 'vizkit'>, in order to make it run, otherwise
an error appears claiming "undefined constant </font><font size=3>Vizkit".</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">That's all for now and thanks for some
great tutorials,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Kind regards,<br>
</font>
