Ha, that's a cool model! :-)
Actually, you could use a simplified version of the kobuki gazebo plugin - strip everything but the parts linked to processing the velocity commands. Afterwards load that plugin with your model and you should be able to drive that human around just like the Kobuki/TurtleBot.
Probably there is also a simply Gazebo way to do this, e.g. add a joint to your model and use the built-in tools to set the joint's velocity. However, I never did that and hence can't provide much information about it.
Good luck and please report your progress somewhere! Would love to see the TurtleBot following that human.

@edits:
You are not supposed to modify the files installed through debs, i.e. everything in /opt/ros/hydro. Please read the ROS tutorials about creating own packages and workspaces and how to set-up a source install of the turtlebot software first.
Furthermore, when using ROS and Gazebo, I recommend to do one thing at a time. Otherwise you can easily get confused. So, try to get ROS-only and Gazebo-only tutorials/examples running first, before you attempt to mix both. This will give you a better idea about what is actually failing.
