Hi,

I am trying to install gazebo on Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I installed
player-stage from the Ubuntu repository (sudo apt-get install robot-player
stage). Since, gazebo is not in the repository, I am trying to compile it
from source. I am following the instructions given here:
http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Gazebo-manual-0.8.0-pre1-html/install.html

The prerequisites are given here:
http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Gazebo-manual-0.8.0-pre1-html/prerequisites.html

For scons, fltk and libxml2 it said a particular version or greater. Ubuntu
repository had latest versions on these so I installed them from there. 

I download the source code for version 1.4.4 from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2997&package_id=2939

I downloaded the one that said "ogre-linux_osx-v1-4-4.tar.bz2". I extracted
it and ran according the instructions:
./bootstrap and ./configure and got the following error:
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for ZZIPLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (zziplib)
were not met:

No package 'zziplib' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ZZIPLIB_CFLAGS
and ZZIPLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I checked around here in the forum for similar errors and found out that for
most people the pkgconfig is present in /usr/local/lib but for me its in
/usr/lib. I checked the repository for zziplib and found zziplib-bin. So I
installed that but it still gives me error. 

The instructions for gazebo installation is for the version 0.8pre. Should I
install this or 0.7? Furthermore, is it ok to install player and stage from
the repository directly or should they be built from source as well?

I am relatively new to linux and new to playerstage gazebo too. I appreciate
your help.

Thanks.
