[PlayerStage-Gazebo] Player error using GPS and IMU

[<mau...@ti...>]

 Hello everybody

  
My system is configured with Player 2.1.2, Gazebo 0.9.0 and ubuntu 9.10

I need to use a GPS and imu sensors for my robot. 

Starting Gazebo the output log is:

Questions:

1: Does somebody know if  gps and imu are really implemented in the Player/Gazebo release I'm using? 

2. If yes, what is wrong in my configuration files? 

My Gazebo and Player configuration files are reported here below.

Thank you very much for your help
