Normally, after an install of ros-jade-desktop-full on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (trusty) 64-bit, the gazebo 5.0 package is setup to run properly.

I tried to set up a new computer this afternoon, and it is giving me an error because there is no /usr/share/gazebo library.

I know this was working a couple of weeks ago. Has there been a change to debs that busted this?

Attached is screen shot of result: image description

This after apt-get removing prior attempts, apt-get updating/upgrading, and rebooting. I started install of ros-jade-desktop-full, and redirected to file. The install seems to complete without error, but I have no /usr/share/gazebo folder and no setup files in the /opt/ros/jade folder

Could you edit your post to include the full error that you are seeing?

Normally, the install creates a /usr/share/gazebo-5.0 folder with models and code, and a /usr/share/gazebo folder with setup script that points to the appropriate version of gazebo.

You need to source this to run gazebo stand alone. This folder is not being created.

This morning I removed (sudo apt-get remove ) ros-jade-desktop-full, and tried to re-install. Now the setup script in /opt/ros/jade is missing.

In my prior (last couple of weeks) installs of ros-jade-desktop-full, it installed gazebo-5.1. Now I notice that it installed 5.0 this morning.

I filed a ticket https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issu... in case this is some widespread issue.

I'm a bit confused: is the issue with Gazebo or with ROS? Your question title suggests Gazebo isn't being installed correctly, but your comments suggest you are encountering some issues with ROS itself. For the former, I'd suggest reporting to the Gazebo people, the latter we can deal with here.

As posted on the rosdistro ticket. This started as an issue with the Gazebo5 package embedded in the ROS jade desktop full. After removing and trying a fresh install of ROS this morning, I have an issue with both Gazebo and /opt/ros/jade setup files missing.

What does dpkg -l | grep ros-jade-catkin output?

Are you saying you installed ros, and then manually installed gazebo? Which version? Jade normally uses Gazebo5, but those instructions are for gazebo7.

I tried reinstalling jade this morning, and not the setup script that is supposed to be in /opt/ros/jade is missing.

Gazebo 5.1.0. I installed first ros and the folders gazebo_msgs, gazebo_plugins, gazebo_ros, gazebo_ros_pkgs appeared in /opt/ros/jade/share. I ran Gazebo after and it opened successfully. But, I decided to visit gazebo tutorials and I foun

... I found that gazebo_ros_pkgs should be in catkin_ws.
