libgazebo_transport.so.4: cannot open

Did uninstall and reinstall of gazebo 1.9 source. Running hydro, ubuntu 12.04.

Tried launching pioneer3at demo_navigation_gmapping.launch and received the following error:

/home/daniel/ros/hydro/catkin/devel/lib/pioneer3at/gazebo_bridge: error while loading shared libraries: libgazebo_transport.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I could not locate the file: libgazebo_transport.so.4

Where is this file suppose to live?

It looks like you have gazebo4 installed. Is that intentional?

not intentional. perhaps this was unintentionally installed during my first install, not sure how. What is the proper way to remove gazebo4? Should I remove it and my current install, then reinstall gazebo 1.9, or may I be able to just remove gazebo4 without an uninstall of 1.9?

trying sudo apt-get autoremove gazebo4. reinstalling gazebo 1.9 now. Perhaps gazebo4 is automatically installed with hydro full desktop install.

sudo apt-get autoremove gazebo4, removed a lot. Reinstalled gazebo 1.9 as before and have many errors. I am redoing a fresh install of ROS hydro and gazebo 1.9, hopefully no errors, I will report.
