Can't start gazebo
I am just starting with ROS. On a new Ubuntu 12.04 installation, i issued apt-get ros-fuerte-* and installed everything (except openni-dev that needs SSE3 and i have only SSE2).
Now i can't start gazebo!!
roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch

BTW, /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulator_gazebo/CMakeLists.txt shows 1.6.16. I am confusing this with 1.0.2 (written in above log) and 1.2 on http://gazebosim.org !!
Please help me getting started with ROS.
Thanks
Update I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The output of lspci |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03 ...
1.6.16 is the version of the simulator_gazebo (ROS) package.. it uses Gazebo 1.0.2 which is a standalone piece of code.
Can you edit your question and include some information? What operating system are you using? (e.g. Ubuntu Precise, Debian Squeeze, etc.). What is the result of
lspci |grep VGA
(what graphics card are you using)?Could you try
roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world_no_x.launch
still the same error (Update 2)
@Amal Please check my Update 3
@amh roslaunch starts a roscore if there isn't already one running
