I've installed Gazebo 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::exception_detail::clone_impl<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/4244/getting-remote-endpoint-failed-on-osx/ (no answers there).
