When I try to include a model in my world file, I get the following error in ROS-fuerte.
Error [SystemPaths.cc:262] cannot load file [models/angen_empty.model]in GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH[/home/angenuser/ros_workspace/angen_gazebo/Media/models]

I attached the following code to the empty.world
<model name='angen_model' static='1'>
<origin pose='0 0 0 0 0 0'/>
<include filename='angen_empty.model'/>
</model>
I recently converted the .model file I am using to the new format using gzsdf recently. I works well as .world file but when I remove the world tags and use just the model, I get the errors.
Is this the problem with gazebo or am I doing a mistake ? Can someone tell a proper way to add a .model file to a world.
Thanks, Prasanna
