Unknown reason for failure to get solutions

Hi,
I found that the wrapper was doing something wierd.
My regenerated robot model is pretty much the same as it is in the repo, expect for the last link translation. I changed that from 0.0823 to 0.3

The issue is:
For tatget rotation configuration that's aligned with the initial frame, the solver seems to fail no matter how. I tried a feasible configuration close to that and the inverse could work. Please check the code below.

However if I change the rotation frame to identity, the inverse fails. I double checked that this configuration is not at singularity.

>>> ee_pose[:,:3] = np.eye(3)
>>> ee_pose

       [ 0.        ,  0.        ,  1.        ,  1.0146302 ]])
>>> kin.inverse(ee_pose.reshape(-1).tolist())
Error: (inverse kinematics) failed to get ik solution

Try removing mpmath and use sympy 0.7.1, worked for me:

@capaulson
Actually I didn't have mpmath.
The mpmath was already removed when I tried to setup OpenRave for regenerating the .cpp code. mpmath did cause problem in that step as I mentioned earlier in issue #2

Hi @kracon7 , did you solve this issue, I had the same issue that ikfast was failed to get ik solution.

No, I wasn't able to solve it.
