Visualizer doesn't display the robot (ros-pkg ticket #595)

[hershwg]

I open the visualizer and tick the boxes in the "Robot Model" section, but nothing shows up. If I tick the "Collision Enabled" box then the collision boxes show up in the correct places, so pr2_etherCAT is definitely publishing the frame transforms.

Could this have something to do with the recent changes to the mesh locations?

[hershwg]

[sglaser] Probably because of #596

[hershwg]

[hsu] was reading from pr2_new, mesh moved to pr2. fixed in r6939.

[sglaser] Still broken. A few dozen errors are printed:

[hsu] you are missing a directory rospack find gazebo_robot_description/world/Media/models/pr2
try svn up?

[hershwg]

[sglaser] Creating the directory fixed it.
