Hey everyone,

I get the following error trying to install the octomap-python library using pip. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

any updates on this issue? I'm running into the same error message (python3.9 on win11), did you find a solution?

did any one manage to resolve this issue?

I am getting the following Error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure

× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> octomap-python

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

Hello, how have you installed it on Ubuntu? I'm trying to install it, but it show me only errors.

I installed some dependencies (not sure if that was even necessary, but shouldn't hurt either) with:
apt-get install libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5svg5-dev cmake, pip install cmake

Now, pip install octomap-python should work as far as I remember. I think I had an issue where pip installed the files to /home/username/.local/lib, so I copied the relevant files from this directory into /usr/local/lib. I hope I didn't miss a step, but that should do the trick.

Hey, I am getting the following error:
src/octomap/octomap/src/binvox2bt.cpp:230:9: error: reference to ‘byte’ is ambiguous

This can be solved by setting the C++ standard to 11:
CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11" pip install octomap-python
