ticketed <a href="https://code.ros.org/trac/ros-pkg/ticket/4165">on trac</a>, thanks for the reports. I can't reproduce the error at the moment, but if someone can, can you please try to clear out the shared memory segments as described <a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Troubleshooting#Error:_failed_to_allocate_semaphore.2C_permission_denied." target="_blank">here</a> first and see if it helps?<br>

Strange. After running as root, and seeing this work, I got back to<br>
my normal user account, and it now works. Don't know if that'll be<br>
the case after a reboot, but this is strange.<br>
