Any luck with this? I am also trying to install Player on 14.04.

I followed this instructions http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Player-cvs/player/install.html]http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Player-cvs/player/install.html ([URL)[/url] and installed this packages when possible and when not I used the most recent version for 14.04:

sudo apt-get install autotools-dev
build-essential
cmake
cpp
libboost-thread1.35.0
libboost-thread1.35-dev
libboost-signals1.35.0
libboost-signals1.35-dev

You probably need to install libgeos and libgeos-dev:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgeos-3.4.2
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgeos-dev

In order to build player on Ubuntu 14.04 the files listed bellow (and correspondent mods) had to be modified. Note I used player-3.0.2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/playerstage/files/Player/3.0.2/player-3.0.2.tar.gz/download).

Many thanks for your post. I am a newbie with Player/Stage/Gazebo. Without your help, I would have been _really_ stuck. :-)
