Gazebo libprotobuf.so.10 not found

I just installed the turtlebot3 gazebo simulation on my system and when I try to start gazebo it gives me the following error:

gzclient: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have libprotobuf installed, I tried to reinstall protobuf-compiler protobuf-c-compiler and libprotobuf10 but none of it helped. It might be a problem that I have ROS2 and ROS1 installed in parallel since I want to use the turtlebot3 environment with the ros-bridge to controll the simulated robot.

If I use the command locate libprotobuf.so

It gives me the following output:

/home/leonard/protobuf/src/.libs/libprotobuf.so
/home/leonard/protobuf/src/.libs/libprotobuf.so.20
/home/leonard/protobuf/src/.libs/libprotobuf.so.20.0.1

/usr/local/lib/libprotobuf.so.20.0.1
/usr/local/lib/libprotobuf.so.9
/usr/local/lib/libprotobuf.so.9.0.1

So as you can see, there is no libprotobuf.so.10 how can I get it?

I understand why you post this here -- seeing as you've installed the TB3 simulation packages and those are ROS packages -- but this reads like an issue with Gazebo proper.

It would be better to ask questions and look for support on Gazebo's own Answers forum, which you can find at answers.gazebosim.org.

If/when you do post there, please comment here with a link to your new question so we can keep things connected.
