gazebo failing with .model
I am working with the objects wihin gazebo_worlds, and whenever I try and spawn .model into gazebo using the command
rosrun gazebo spawn_model -file name.model -gazebo -model thing
My gazebo gets the error
[empty_world_server-1] process has died [pid 17337, exit code 134, cmd /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/scripts/gazebo /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/worlds/empty.world __name:=empty_world_server __log:=/home/carol/.ros/log/715ceed4-bad5-11e1-9ffc-00268297df80/empty_world_server-1.log]. log file: /home/carol/.ros/log/715ceed4-bad5-11e1-9ffc-00268297df80/empty_world_server-1*.log
I am wondering if this is a common problem and if there is a fix to it by any chance.
