[ODE] 'not yet implemented' Error

[david@csworkbench.com]

Just a logical guess based on the Hinge joint, but I don't see why this
wouldn't work (this is completely untested):

extern "C" dReal dJointGetAMotorAngleRate (dxJointAMotor *joint, int anum)
{
  dAASSERT(joint && anum >= 0 && anum < 3);
  dUASSERT(joint->vtable == &__damotor_vtable,"joint is not an amotor");
  if (joint->node[0].body) {
    dVector3 axis;
    dJointGetAMotorAxis (joint, anum, axis);
    dReal rate = dDOT(axis,joint->node[0].body->avel);
    if (joint->node[1].body) rate -= dDOT(axis,joint->node[1].body->avel);
    return rate;
  }
  else return 0;
}

Replace that in ode/src/joint.cpp and see if it returns logical results.
