ResourceNotFound: gazebo_ros Issue

I'm using: Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS along with Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 7.16.1 to lunch the simple arm robot from https://github.com/udacity/RoboND-sim... I can initiate and build my project, but when I run the following command:

$ roslaunch simple_arm robot_spawn.launch

I get the following error which seems to be an issue with catkin not finding my gazebo:

Is there anything I'm missing? I appreciate your time and help!

Try installing gazebo_ros from source. Source the catkin workspace and try again.
