Revision history [back]

The root cause seems to be urdf library incompatibilities. The developers are aware of the issue (https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues/4633).

I'm also looking forward to a fix but for now it seems the workaround is to use a source-built version of gazebo. See the June 8, 3am comment from jonbinney on that thread.
