Have you tried to install player in ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit system? I havent been able to do it. I have Stage running and Gazebo running.

I followed this instructions http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Player-cvs/player/install.html 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 libcv1 libcv-dev libgdk-pixbuf2 libgdk-pixbuf-dev libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-dev libgsl0 libgsl0-dev libjpeg62-dev libtool libxmu-dev swig freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libfltk1.1 libfltk1.1-dev libgtk2.0-dev libltdl7 libltdl7-dev libpng12-0 libpng12-0-dev

When I try to make it, thios is the error I get:
