Re: FRCSim, Gazebo v7, and GearsBot example
I thought I'd try installing the new plugins on a current Ubuntu LTS (16.04) system. The plugins compile without errors; but when I try to start Gazebo 7 with the GearsBotDemo.world (with the GearsBot robot) the plugins fail to load because libboost_system.so.1.54.0 isn't available.

libboost-dev is at version 1.58 is the current LTS and 1.54 isn't available through the package manager. 1.54 was last used in Ubuntu 14.04.

I've look a little through the source to see if I can figure out where it's picking up the version number; but haven't spotted anything.

Any ideas how to work around this?
