There used to be this error, it seems to be gone now:

 Linking CXX executable ../../../bin/salience

icubsrv and pc104

Update OS packages on icubsrv
Update YARP on icubsrv, under the path /exports/code-pc104 and, if you will, the local 64bits version
Update iCub on icubsrv, under the path /exports/code-pc104 and, if you will, the local 64bits version
Check that the scripts that are mounted from icubsrv to pc104 still work

Once everything builds

Check that each demo works
Update iCubLisboa01 scripts (.xml and .sh) on chico3 in a clean way (no hardcoded paths, etc.)
Commit updated scripts to iCub repository iCubLisboa01 directory
Clean up (backup) unused stuff on iCubLisboa01 directory
In main/app/pf3dTracker/conf, we should end up having two files - pf3dTracker_iCubLisboa01_left.ini and pf3dTracker_iCubLisboa01_right.ini
Note that our robot files were moved from app/iCubLisboa01 to main/app/robots/iCubLisboa01. Update the repository used by pc104 again (see Lorenzo's email from 2010-11-24)
