 errror:[ERROR] [1388762076.282169241]: Skipping XML Document "/opt/ros/indigo/share/gmapping/nodelet_plugins.xml" which had no Root Element. This likely means the XML is malformed or missing. 

以前包的bug现在新版本已经修复了，该提示一般不会影响其他节点使用。如果需要修复，可以找到相对应xml文件，复制到该目录即可。

这里给出一份xml文件：

nodelet_plugins.xml

<library path="lib/libslam_gmapping_nodelet">
  <class name="SlamGMappingNodelet" type="SlamGMappingNodelet" base_class_type="nodelet::Nodelet">
  <description>
  Nodelet ROS wrapper for OpenSlam's Gmapping.
  </description>
  </class>
</library>

复制到指定位置:

sudo cp -R   "yourfilesite"/nodelet_plugins.xml  /opt/ros/indigo/share/gmapping/
