Maybe the capitalization is the problem: try changing GAZEBO_libraries to GAZEBO_LIBRARIES. Does that help?

gazebo_ros/launch/empty_world.launch has a verbose option. Try adding verbose:=true to your roslaunch invocation

As of gazebo 2.2 (see pull request 925) the .dylib plugin suffix should not be a problem. Is there a way to print more verbose console output to diagnose the error?

[ROSCon 2014] William Woodall: ROS 2.0: Developer preview (HD) from OSRF on Vimeo.

That tutorial is titled "Create your new rqt plugin", so I didn't read it. I was just trying to use rqt_plot and none of the plugins were showing up.

My rqt configuration file in ~/.config/ros.org/rqt_gui.ini was out-dated, possibly because I upgraded my machine to trusty instead of doing a clean install. I deleted the old configuration file, and that fixed the problem.

I have installed ros-indigo-rqt-common-plugins, but when I run rqt --list-plugins, it does not show anything. What is the problem?

Note:

I know the answer and am in the process of posting it. I didn't see a good place to add this to the ROS wiki, so I'm posting it here.

It looks like an issue a missing dependency for dynamic_reconfigure. I've submitted a pull request to fix it based on advice from @dirk-thomas.

I think the nav_msgs is a red herring, building with -j8 mixes up the console output. I just edited the description to try to show the relevant messages.

I'm trying to build gazebo_ros_pkgs on saucy/indigo, and I'm getting the following build error:

Any ideas? I've cross-posted to the gazebo_ros_pkgs issue tracker.

I just had this issue, and I'm not exactly sure what caused it, but I noticed that some of my workspace source folders were on the hydro-devel branch and some on groovy-devel. Make sure you have the correct branches.

Gazebo requires bullet version 2.81 or higher. OSRF has libbullet debs hosted at packages.osrfoundation.org for precise and quantal, but not raring. So the gazebo debs don't have bullet support, but if you build from source then you can use bullet with gazebo -e bullet. We're still fixing bugs and adding unit tests for physics, but there is partial support for bullet.

After some help from @dirk-thomas, we identified ros-hydro-rosbuild as the provider of ROS_ROOT. So the answer is to make sure you have rosbuild installed if you need the ROS_ROOT variable.

I'm using hydro to test drcsim using rosbuild, and I have had instances where the ROS_ROOT environment variable was not set. I did not have a full install of hydro, just a few packages. Not having the ROS_ROOT environment variable can actually break roswtf.

To reproduce, remove all hydro packages, install ros-hydro-roswtf, source the setup script and run roswtf.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get remove ros-hydro-*
$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-roswtf
$ . /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
$ env | grep ROS
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/hydro/share:/opt/ros/hydro/stacks
