Installing SImpleOpenNI for an Asus Xtion


  • follow the instructions from simple-openni/wiki/Installation
  • OpenNI installs very quickly, on to Nite
  • which fails with a " niReg: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenNI.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."" error 
  • but the file is there! Google for it: reboot or run "ldconfig -v", "ldconfig -v" it is
  • now Nite installs
  • install the Sensor
  • and 'install' SimpleOpenNI = copy the files across - easy!
  • and then we go and find some sample code to run!
