Research direction

Start with the pixi environment dependency declaration in the issue and investigate how WalkingControllers 0.9 declares or packages its spdlog dependency. Reproduce the missing-library error with the shown environment, then confirm that WalkingModule runs without a manual spdlog version pin while remaining compatible with the other dependencies.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Trying to run the WalkingModule from the followig pixi env:

[workspace]
authors = ["Giovanni Fregonese <[email protected]>"]
channels = ["conda-forge", "robotology"]
name = "gazebo_env"
platforms = ["linux-64"]
version = "0.1.0"

[tasks]

[dependencies]
yarp = ">=3.12"
whole-body-estimators = "*"
bipedal-locomotion-framework = "*"
ergocub-software = "*"
walking-controllers = ">=0.9"
gz-sim-yarp-plugins = "*"

results in:

pixi run WalkingModule
/home/giovannif/gazebo_env/.pixi/envs/default/bin/WalkingModule: error while loading shared libraries: libspdlog.so.1.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is spdlog a dependency of WalkingControllers?

Trying to pixi add spdlog results in an incompatible version since WalkingControllers 0.9 looks for libspdlog 1.15 but other dependecies require spdlog>=1.16, adding spdlog = ">=1.15.0, <1.16.0" works and the WalkingModule can run.
