Hello,

Im trying to build gazebo from source for the gz-sim github: https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-sim

from this tutorial linked in the github: https://gazebosim.org/api/gazebo/6.1/...

but when I get to the part where you install the libraries, this is what I get:

sudo apt -y install   $(sort -u $(find . -iname 'packages-'`lsb_release -cs`'.apt' -o -iname 'packages.apt' | grep -v '/\.git/') | sed '/ignition\|sdf/d' | tr '\n' ' ')
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package libgz-fuel-tools9-dev
    E: Unable to locate package libgz-gui8-dev
    E: Unable to locate package libgz-msgs10-dev
    E: Unable to locate package libgz-rendering8-dev
    E: Unable to locate package libgz-sensors8-dev
    E: Unable to locate package libgz-transport13-dev

what am I missing?

I figured it out now. I had two problems.

Firstly, Its confusing knowing what gazebo version to use with what ros2 version. and which one to use isn't immediately obvious. Following the below guide, I saw that my version of ROS2(foxy), only supported citadel. https://gazebosim.org/docs/garden/ros...

(or if that link is dead, if you're using an LTS ROS2 version(foxy), use gazebo(citadel), or if you're using the latest ROS2, use the latest version of gazebo(garden)

Second, I found the install from source guide for Ubuntu + gazebo citadel here: https://gazebosim.org/docs/citadel/in...

Looks like you either haven't added the repository or ran sudo apt-get update afterwards.

Can you try running this section taken from the tutorial you linked:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-stable `lsb_release -cs` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gazebo-stable.list'
wget http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

I ran those commands, and it still didn't work. I got the same error again. Is there a place to install these libraries from source?

You can find more instructions, including how to build from source at https://gazebosim.org/docs/garden/ins...
