[Err] [DARTPhysics.cc:760] The use of the ODE collision detector with DART is disabled because it causes conflicts with the version of ODE used in Gazebo.

I am using Gazebo 11.0.0 and have installed it from source (using the following instructions: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=install_from_source&cat=install). I wish to use ODE collision detection but I get he following error. I was wondering if someone could enlighten me with the following error. And if it is a problem with dart or just gazebo.

This is an issue in Gazebo. See #1425 (comment).

Unfortunately the bitbucket link doesn't exist anymore. Do you by any change have any suggestions to resolve this conflict?

The archived PR is at https://osrf-migration.github.io/gazebo-gh-pages/#!/osrf/gazebo/pull-requests/2956/page/1. I don't have a suggestion that seems tractable. Have you looked into using ign-gazebo? It uses DART with ODE as the collision detector.

I will give it a try today and keep you posted, thanks

    <physics type="dart">
      <collision_detector>dart</collision_detector>
    </physics>

I opted for the above work around. Where I use darts collision detector, but replaced my collision mesh with a cuboid. Seems to do the job.
