Gazebo can't find hector_gazebo_plugins

Hi all,

I tried to use GPS plugin from hectorgazeboplugins. When installed using deb source, Gazebo complained on startup "Error [Plugin.hh:126] Failed to load plugin libhectorgazeborosgps.so: libhectorgazeborosgps.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Same using self compiled stack. But plugins from gazeborospkgs worked fine. So what I did - copied libhectorgazeboros_gps.so from hectorgazeboplugins/lib in rosbuild workspace to devel/lib in catkin ws and it works! But I don't like this solution. Did I forget to set some path to plugins or whatever else?

ROS Groovy, Gazebo 1.8.6 (standalone) a gazeborospkgs for ROS integration.

Hope I'm clear enough :-)

Many thanks in advance.
