On Debian, /var/log is 755 root:root, and /var/log/postgresql is 1775

Ubuntu is based on Debian.

I can see no reason for /var/log not to be persistent. There can be much

I do know that on recent Ubuntus, /var/run is a ramdisk.

SCO Unix is a poor example to bring up. Much was highly non-standard about
it.

Directories should have the executable bit set.

If your Postgresql package isn't correctly setting up /var/log/postgresql,
then that is a bug you must report to the people who packaged your
distribution.

I did not know this. I agree completely. As far as SCO Unix, it was a pain at times but certainly better than DOS. I preferred Slackware as soon as I started with it; held onto it long after Red Hat overtook it as the most widely distributed Linux. I never had AT&T Unix as a frame of reference. Now that I have revealed my age, the OS I miss most is AEGIS. I will do as you suggest.

Thanks, Bruce Johnson

No, mapnik is looking for that directory.

Once gpsdrive calls mapnik all map generation is done by mapnik. Unfortunately there are a couple of problems like this with mapnik 0.5, I understand mapnik 0.6 resolved this but gpsdrive does not yet use it.

I had to create /usr/lib/mapnik/0.5 and link /usr/local/lib/mapnik/* to it.
That worked and I now have the mapnik option in the Map Control menu. So am I
correct in assuming that gpsdrive is looking for that specific directory?

My error it is with .shp

Does the directory

/usr/local/lib/mapnik/world_boundaries

exist?

Try using the following symlink

ln -s /usr/local/lib/mapnik /usr/local/share

If not then try with

ln -s /usr/local/lib/mapnik/* /usr/lib/mapnik/0.5

One of these resolved the issue I had with this. I can't remember which but it's probably the first.

I found world_boundaries_m files with extensions but none with no
extension. Is the .shp the one mapnik wants? Should I symlink like "ln
-s world_boundaries_m.shp world_boundaries_m" in the world_boundaries
directory?

Alex & Bruce

Actually it has to do with the input plugin shape.input for mapnik.

It can be caused by not being able to find the shape.input file or the world_boundaries_m file as below.

With version 0.5 of mapnik it is in

/usr/local/lib/mapnik/0.5/input

what it is looking for is:

/usr/local/share/mapnik/world_boundaries/world_boundaries_m

which is from the osm.xml file in your ~/.gpsdrive directory, this file contains all things to do with how mapnik renders the maps.

click on the "Mapnik" instructions which leads you to Ross's tutorial +
some more tips.

I think the -m flag depends on what version of things you use. Modern
versions use the crappy Google Mercator-on-a-sphere projection AFAIK.

I found the -m option a poor choice in pre7. I know the documentation
changes but I recall both "don't use -m" and "use -m" while battling
mapnik. In my case, -m ate all my system disk so it was easy to choose.

Re: Minimal icons

2009-11-08T15:33:49Z

Hi Bruce

This is where mapnik should install the world_boundaries so it was changed in gpsdrive to use the mapnik install rather than having it symlinked or loaded in to other directories thus making updating a pain.

Most of the hard coded directories have been changed to use the directories from the packages that the additional items install into.

The forest.png icon missing is an osm problem and should probably be listed as a bug there.

Have you looked at using the install instructions here:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gpsdrive/index.php?title=8.04_manual

It is applicable for debian based distros.

Cheers
Ross

Incorrect permissions in the database for you as user. It's not creating the databases before trying to add the osm data.

Using the pattern from codebrainz.ca I created a directory under my home
called world_boundaries which was massive. I then made a symbolic link
in /usr/share named mapnik to it. Like I said 20 years ago in
Slackware. I still have no mapnik in gpsdrive.

Progress so far....

2009-11-08T11:39:32Z

I can compile and run gpsdrive. When I run it, I see:

Several things:

* Do I need the call to set-mapnik-env?

* gpsdrive reports "DB: Using street data from Mapnik database." I
don't see any reference to mapnik in gpsdrive _Map Control, per
Documentation/README.Mapnik_and_OpenStreetMaps. Not can I get
gpsdrive to pull in new tiles by moving around in explorer mode.

* gpsdrive reports "Missing '/usr/share/mapnik/world_boundaries'
please install mapnik world boundaries, if error occurs!". Again,
there's no such file, nor the directory /usr/share/mapnik. Nor do I
see any way to set this value in gpsdriverc.

* gpsdrive reports "/home/ccurley/.gpsdrive/waypoints.db reloaded,
read 14 waypoints" which is odd because I've only put one way point
into gpsdrive.

I can set a waypoint in the database, and I see a small red cross where
it should be. But I see no label near it. Any ideas?

That's where I got that advice. I'm walking through that same tutorial
now.

In addition, the -M car causes the right click to jump on the map, about
8mm on my ASUS 900A, and the -G 900x300 produces functional nightmares.
As I am unfamiliar with the authors' practices, I am loath to call any
modifications I may make corrections.

This is an interesting project but pre7 is further from utility than
pre4 IMHO.

That's not the only thing that's not obvious. gpsdrive is looking
for /usr/local/share/icons/map-icons/geoinfo.db. However, the tarball
drops it into usr/share/icons/map-icons/geoinfo.db.

Also, the tarball drops all its icons into usr/share/icons/map-icons/.
But the deb package openstreetmap-map-icons-scalable drops its icons
into /usr/share/icons/openstreetmap/. I see no evidence that gpsdrive
is picking up those icons.

Minimal icons

2009-11-08T07:24:35Z

By ftping the openstreetmap classic icons from ftp.us.openstreetmap.org
I am able to reduce the unable to open file list down to one:

usr/local/share/icons/map-icons/classic.small/rendering/landuse/forest.png

While pre4 had world boundaries in
/usr/share/gpsdrive/mapnik/world_boundaries, currently pre7 complains thus
> Missing '/usr/share/mapnik/world_boundaries' please install mapnik
> world boundaries, if error occurs!
while there may be reasons external for the change, it appears to me as
sloth. In my case it is merely another symbolic link but I begin to
feel I have returned to Slackware circa 1989.

I am accursed among old code monkeys!

you must install at least the minimal icon set. that ships with the
geoinfo.db file.

download under "additional data":
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsdrive/files/

sorry that dependency is not so obvious.

Hamish

ps- 2.10pre7 no longer uses mysql. It uses sqlite for waypoints and
postgres (postgis) for OpenStreetMap data rendered with Mapnik.

Right, see my email of Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:51:19 -0600 for my
workaround of the geoinfo.db problem.

I have been compiling and running under Jaunty for a few weeks.

I have just upgraded that to Karmic. gpsdrive compiles, but I have not
run it yet.

These errors are new from those preventing pre4 from functioning.
The red map-icons does not exist. Pshaw!

I have added countless packages to my system with the above result. I hope for a simple solution. Prior to installing the mysql server was refusing gast@localhost.

2009-11-06T17:46:08Z

Now that Karmic has broken cover, the Intrepid archive at gpsdrive.de
seems out of date. I downloaded the source tarball but find it still
fails as a libstdc++6-dev does not exist in Jaunty.

Can the Gutsy, Hardy, or Intrepid sources be used in Jaunty? How long,
if ever, until a Jaunty archive will be available at www.gpsdrive.de?

I prefer mapnik, too, but on devices like the N810 mapnik live rendering won't
