Hi everyone, I'm having the exact same issues as described by Bert Willaert (quoted below) right now. Platform: Ubuntu 10.04 - Machine x86_64  - Kernel 2.6.32-24-generic - Graphic card Quadro NVS 160M (nvidia-current drivers [195.36.24] , hardware acceleration sure seems to work in other GL applications) Using C-Turtle compiled from SVN. When starting gazebo in gdb, I get the following: (gdb) run ~/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/launch/debug.launch Starting program: /home/stefan/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/bin/gazebo ~/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/launch/debug.launch [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 0.10.0 Part of the Player/Stage Project [http://playerstage.sourceforge.net].
