Hi ! I'm trying to get my head around ROS and Gazebo, specifically for the Ackermann Steering type of vehicles. I had a look at wonderful discussions held by the Ackermann Interest Group here. I have got the Ackermann_vehicle packages and Ackermann_msgs packages too. When I try to run the roswtf to check for the errors, I get the following errors:
Loaded plugin tf.tfwtf

I am using Linux MINT 17 with ROS Indigo. Subsequently when I launch the ackermann_vehicle, I also get certain errors, which I think may be related to the above errors.
Any help/pointers would be most welcome.
Thanks!

UPDATE: The ros-control package wasn't installed, generating dependency based errors. Now it runs properly. without any errors in both roswtf and roslaunch.
