OK - I answered my own question by browsing the repositories - it appears that the only supported linux distribution is Ubuntu “trusty”, that is, Ubuntu 14. The docs say that “precise”, that is, Ubuntu 12 is supported also…

3

What documents are you looking at that say that precise is supported?

4

Joe,
Candidly, in the most GP possible way, I may have imagined it. But I thought I saw such a reference. Upgrading to Trusty now to try it out. Another thread had someone who saw Gazebo on other linuxen, including precise, but they also found that FRCSim is documented as Trusty only. Sorry for the distraction, and thanks for your help.
Best,
Martin

No problem, there’s occasionally outdated docs out there that cause issues.

Joe is correct - only Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit only, I believe) is supported at the moment for the Gazebo FRCsim package. Sorry if that wasn’t made clear in the documentation.
