Hi Raihan,
Did you install gazebo-7.8 by building it from source? Or did you just do apt-get install gazebo7

I have successfully managed to install ROS and gazebo in my linux machine (Linux mint)(Ubuntu 16.04 kernel) However there are few comments I would like to share regarding the problems that I faced while trying to install the packages 1)I performed a local install in my machine since the docker installation procedure did not seem to work as some of the packages could not be fetched. 2)While trying to install ROS in other linux distribution other than Ubuntu Xenial change the command sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' to sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
3)Gazebo 8 and the latest version of ROS kinetic did not seem to work for me, I receive particular errors while trying to install the gazebo_ros packages 4)Install ROS at first and then install gazebo, as the opposite also throws error. 5) Gazebo 7.8 with the latest version of ROS kinetic works fine and the simulation runs, as per the instruction. 6) ros_gazebo package needs to be installed separately 7) setting up paths for the ROS and gazebo is important or else this throws an error with the rosrun command, and the simulation/animation window does not pop up.
