Error: "Transport endpoint is not connected" on Fedora 20

edit

I've installed Gazebo 1.9.0 from source on Fedora 20. It does not start and the following error is shown:

Waiting for masterError [Connection.cc:786] Getting remote endpoint failed terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exceptiondetail::cloneimpl<boost::exception_detail:: error_info_injector<boost::system::system_error=""> >' what(): remote_endpoint: Transport endpoint is not connected

This is the same problem as described in this thread: http://answers.gazebosim.org/question... (no answers there).
