Trouble running ROS simulator_gazebo tutorial. [closed]

edit

I am new to ROS so there is probably a simple explanation for what I am doing wrong, but I have been having problems getting Gazebo to work with ROS, as described in the ROS simulator_gazebo tutorial. I have insufficient karma to post a direct link, unfortunately.

when I try to follow the steps there, I get errors The gazebo wiki install guide mentions that there is a problem with the ROS Gazebo tutorial, and when I followed the install instructions for gazebo on that site, I have been able to get gazebo to run as a stand alone system successfully.

However I need to run it with ROS - I assume the only way to do this is using roslaunch

Is there a simple fix to make the ROS tutorial work, or is there a workaround to make the standalone gazebo work with ROS?

I am using ROS Groovy, on Ubuntu 12.04 i386

Unfortunately I have insufficient karma to attach a log file, so I have to post it in here.

The resulting logfile contains the following errors:
