I am trtying to use hector in gazebo 5 , but I get these error messages. I have installed ros-indigo-gazebo-plugins in gazebo 5 as ros-indigo-gazebo5-plugins ..How do I get around this?

Gazebo 5 is not officially supported in ROS indigo and therefore hector_quadrotor and some packages it depends on are missing in the ROS binary package repositories. That's why you would need to build hector_quadrotor AND at least hector_gazebo_plugins in the hector_gazebo repository from source. Check out the hector_quadrotor tutorials in the ROS wiki and follow the "Install from source" sections.

We never tried hector_quadrotor with Gazebo 5 until now. We only did some basic tests with Gazebo 4 and that seems to work fine. Please report any new issue you might find, but I will close this one for now as the reported error is clearly related to dependency problems with the pre-built binary packages.
