Launching gazebo server

I'm trying to launch a gazebo server with the help of gzserver but I get this error:

Error [RTShaderSystem.cc:409] Unable to find shader lib. Shader generating will fail.Error [Server.cc:285] Could not open file[worlds/empty.world]

When I go to the directory where empty.world xml file is placed I see it exists. This is its content:

<sdf version="1.4"><world name="default"> <include><uri>model://sun</uri></include> <include><uri>model://ground_plane</uri></include> <physics type="ode"><max_step_size>0.01</max_step_size><real_time_factor>1</real_time_factor><real_time_update_rate>100</real_time_update_rate><gravity>0 0 -9.8</gravity></physics></world></sdf>

Does someone have a clue what is wrong?

I encountered 'Error [Server.cc:285] Could not open file' when I tried launching gazebo with roslaunch gazebo_ros. I specified world_name:=<worldname.world> (from within the directory where the .world was located). When I added the full path to the file, the error went away.

Where do I add the full path?
