Hey, 

I am having similar problems when trying the Gazebo tutorials:

Platform: Ubuntu 10.04 - Machine x86_64  - Kernel 2.6.32-22 - Graphic card
GeForce 9600GT

If I command: roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch
--> Gazebo interface opens and shuts down immediately
Message:
[gazebo-2] process has died [pid 8384, exit code -11].
log files:
/home/u0052802/.ros/log/164a5024-95a5-11df-8cda-0023aeb04ff7/gazebo-2*.log

If I a command: roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world_no_x.launch
Message:
[/opt/ros/boxturtle/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/gazebo-svn/server/GazeboConfig.cc:106]
  Unable to find the file ~/.gazeborc. Using default paths. This may cause
OGRE to fail.
directory [/tmp/gazebo-u0052802-0] already exists (previous crash?)
but the owner gazebo server (pid=8384) is not running.
deleting the old information of the directory [/tmp/gazebo-u0052802-0]
Gazebo successfully initialized
[ INFO] 0.000000000: Callback thread id=0x95c780


Thanks for helping!
