Does a folder named /tmp/gazebo-ABC/ayush.g-rtshaderlibcache/ exist on your system?

My user name is ABC\ayush.g. So the folder that exists is 

#!sh

/tmp/gazebo-ABC\\ayush.g-rtshaderlibcache

Ok, in the initial post you said the user name is ABC/ayush.g with a forward /, but in the latest comment you say it has a backwards \. Can you confirm which it is?

I too had the same issue. Found: '\' is the problem in establishing the path to the directory. Do the following to run gazebo:

inside tmp/ :

mkdir -p gazebo-ABC/ayush.g-rtshaderlibcache/

Now, gazebo will be able o find the path.

Run n enjoy!!! :slight_smile:
