Possible Gazebo version problem? #99

According to the link above ROS Kinetic/Lunar works with Gazebo version 7, but the script installs gazebo version 8. I tried running rosrun gazebo_ros gazebo and it looks like ros isn't communicating with gazebo.

I only get the default rostopics instead of the list given above. I also tried a simulation which works perfectly on my Ubuntu setup but it fails to communicate with ros in OSX.

To solve this, I purged my Gazebo8 installation and installed Gazebo7 but it still doesn't seem to be working.

Have you faced this issue with your installation?

I do have the same problem. ROS is not communicating with Gazebo.

Since I didn't find a solution to this, I just got Parallels and am using ROS with Ubuntu. It's just easier.
