He is probably installing using the root user in a way that $HOME is set to /root. Anyway, creating the file in the home directory when gazebo is being installed is not the right way to go because this kind of thing happens. I think there are two good options to the current approach:
a) Copying the file to a public directory: For example /usr/local/share/gazebo/defaultrc. That way, gazebo would look in $HOME/.gazeborc and, if it does not exist, it would copy the file from /usr/local/share/gazebo/defaultrc to $HOME/.gazeborc. b) Generating the file at run time: As I do in the patch a sent with the mail. However, in order to apply the patch to the repository it should be slightly changed as I assume on it that the instalation path is /usr/local (users can set it to any other path).
