roslaunch -v drcsim_gazebo atlas.launch fails

edit

I've just installed gazebo-current and drcsim on an Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit system, but the command that I've mentioned in title

roslaunch -v drcsim_gazebo atlas.launch

shows gazebo misbehaving. On first run I get:

The file ~/.ros/log/cc958ef0-69ca-11e3-a096-00e052b4d2d5/gazebo-2*.log does not exists.

I can run gzserver & gzclient without any problem, except that gzclient has a segmentation fault after I close it from the GUI.
