Setup
Ubuntu: 24.04
PX4: 1.17.0alpha
Got an error while building DDS on Ubuntu 24, so build this way

git clone -b v2.4.3 https://github.com/eProsima/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent.git
cd Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DUAGENT_P2P_PROFILE=OFF
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib/

compilation successfully.
Simulation launch successfully, but got the following error on the PX4 side when running MicroXRCEAgent udp4 -p 8888

On the DDS terminal, got the following

I’m also seeing this on v1.16.1-rc2 and v1.16.0. This did not happen on Ubuntu 22, only when I switched to Ubuntu 24. Hard to know which dependency would be breaking this.

Ah, It’s because your uXRCE is linking against the wrong library after installation. If you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and manually run the locally built version, it connects correctly:

nbingham@dev-0:\~/workspace/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent/build$ pwd
/home/nbingham/workspace/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent/build
nbingham@dev-0:\~/workspace/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent/build$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
nbingham@dev-0:\~/workspace/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent/build$ ./MicroXRCEAgent udp4 -p 8888 -v 4

Update:
It’s because you forgot to run the last step of installation:

sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib/
