Hey everyone!

I recently installed ROS Hydro (alongside my older Groovy) and installed the Gazebo 1.9 (I wasn't using Gazebo before, so I didn't uninstall anything). I went through the tutorial (ROS Integration) and while the worlds seem to work fine, when I went the part about spawning a model (baxter in particular, as suggested by the tutorial) I get the following message:

sotiris@sotiris-Studio-XPS-435MT:~/catkin_gazebo_ws/src$ rosrun gazebo_ros spawn_model -file ~/baxter_common/baxter_description/urdf/baxter.urdf -urdf -z 1 -model baxter

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sotiris/catkin_ws/src/gazebo_ros_pkgs/gazebo_ros/scripts/spawn_model", line 25, in <module>
    from gazebo_ros import gazebo_interface

  File "/opt/ros/hydro/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gazebo_ros/gazebo_interface.py", line 8, in <module>
    from gazebo_msgs.msg import *

ImportError: No module named msg

Initially, the command

rosrun gazebo_ros spawn_model -file `rospack find baxter_description`/urdf/baxter.urdf -urdf -z 1 -model baxter

couldn't locate the baxter_description, so I inserted the path.

When I try the PR2 spawn (inserting the code in the launch file) I get the same, the world launches but the robot doesn't spawn:

    sotiris@sotiris-Studio-XPS-435MT:~$ roslaunch test_gazebo test.launch

Does someone know what the issue is?

Thank you!

I tried to do it, but it wouldn't work. After trying to spawn, I got the same messages as above... Could it be because I had Groovy and then installed Hydro too?
