Error attempting to build gazebo on Ubuntu 20.10

PX4 Autopilot Configuration and Flight Modes
#1

I d/l-ed PX4-Autopilot from Github and,according to at Gazebo Simulation · PX4 Developer Guide I tried to build it. I get this error:

jon@jon-ThinkCentre-M92P:~/PX4/PX4-Autopilot$ make px4_sitl gazebo
[0/5] Performing configure step for 'sitl_gazebo'
-- install-prefix: /usr/local
-- cmake build type: RelWithDebInfo

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:47 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findgazebo.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "gazebo", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "gazebo" with any
  of the following names:

    gazeboConfig.cmake
    gazebo-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "gazebo" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "gazebo_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "gazebo"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

To simplify things, I went and d/l-ed just gazebo and, according to GitHub - PX4/PX4-SITL_gazebo: Set of plugins, models and worlds to use with OSRF Gazebo Simulator in SITL and HITL., placed in its own area. Still get the same error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m new here as well as new to cmake, so apologies if this is obvious.

Thanks!

It got further in the build:

Hi, for the same error, in my case,
after libgazebo9-dev installed by sudo apt install libgazebo9-dev command, it disappeared.

See px4 cmake error with gazebo · Issue #5393 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub

The problem here is very specific to installing Gazebo, have you tried the instructions on the Gazebo website?
