Recently installed ROS Jade (only version in Ubuntu 15.04), which requires OGRE 1.9. Gazebo requires OGRE 1.8. gazebo doesn’t show a GUI anymore, gz nags about libogre....1.8.0.so

Approach:

1. Purge all libogre-1.*
2. Install libogre-1.8.0 and libogre-1.8-dev
3. Change Gazebo’s cmake so that the OGRE SO’s are statically linked.
4. Rebuild Gazebo
5. make install Gazebo
6. Purge all libogre-1.8*
7. Install libogre-1.9.0 and libogre-1.9-dev
8. Report back here?

How am I going to link statically to OGRE?

1. Find all CMakeLists.txt containing OGRE: grep -il ogre `find . -iname cmakelists.txt`
