In "install_gazebo_source.sh" function install_gazebo_source() remove gazebo file both before and after gazebo install using " remove_gazebo_in_path /usr/bin remove_gazebo_in_path /usr/lib remove_gazebo_in_path /usr/share remove_gazebo_in_path /usr/include remove_gazebo_in_path /usr/local "

Please explain the effect on the existing ros package already using gazebo ? Will it effect the compatibility of other gazebo simulation package like ur5, etc available in open source community to run on my system ?

It will depend on the version of gazebo installed by ros. If the source is very different from the packaged version, I expect there to be compatibility issues.

I only use the compiled version of gazebo in order to have access to other physics simulators. (Drake, etc..) which works better for the allegro hand.

You can probably install gazebo from source to another location (home folder or something) and use that one when need be.

You can also just use the default ros-gazebo simulator·
