The instructions on gazebosim.org are for standalone system installs and needs more setup. The updated step 2 in quick_start
source /usr/share/gazebo-[gazebo version]/setup.sh
should configure environment variables necessary for things to work correctly. In this case, your system is missing the correct OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH.
Alternatively, under ros you can install the ros wrapped version of gazebo by following instruction for ROS install, then:
sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-simulator-gazebo
and finally you can try things out in simulator_gazebo tutorials.

The instructions on gazebosim.org are for standalone system install of gazebo. (it needs slightly more setup then the ros-gazebo (see my comment below about the ros-ified gazebo stack). Your problem above might be fixed by the updated step 2 in quick_start
source /usr/share/gazebo-[gazebo version]/setup.sh
should configure environment variables necessary for things to work correctly. In this case, your system is missing the correct OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH.
On another note, it looks like you are trying to install gazebo simulator directly on your system (outside of ros context) for using it with ROS. Let me try to clarify a little bit about the difference between the ros simulator_gazebo stack and the gazebosim project.
The ros simulator_gazebo stack wraps a hand-picked stable version of gazebo from the gazebo simulator project, and provides additional ros plugins/tools for using gazebo inside the ros environment. By installing ros-fuerte-simulator-gazebo, you don't have to worry about installing gazebo via instructions on gazebosim.org, but rather, just follow along the ros wiki tutorials. However, if you are interested in helping out with testing/developing the underlying simulator software, then proceed with the system install as described on the gazebo simulator project installation instruction page and try out the quick start steps. Note the two installs can exist side by side with some careful finessing of installation locations and system paths.
Hope this is not too confusing.
