Installing from sources gpsdrive 2.10pre7

[Bogdan Cristea]

Hi
   I have successfully installed gpsdrive compiled from sources on openSUSE
11.1. However, when I try to run, I get the following errors:

 ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'showstreetmaps=1'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'usedgps=0'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'satposmode=0'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'printoutsats=0'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'lastnotebook=0'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'dbhostname=localhost'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'dbname=geoinfo'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'dbuser=gast'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'dbpass=gast'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'dbtable=poi'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'dbusedist=1'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'earthmate=0'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'showssid=1'
ERROR: Unknown Config Parameter 'draw_poilabel=0'
Connection to Speech Dispatcher established.
Can't connect to gps daemon on 127.0.0.1:2947, disabling GPS support!
DB: Error while opening /usr/local/share/icons/map-icons/geoinfo.db: unable to
open database file

Could someone explain how these errors can be solved  ? How the file  
geoinfo.db can be generated ? Right now this file does not seem to exist in my
filesystem.

thanks

these are not really errors, they just show, that some config options have

been changed/removed. the messages will appear only on the first run.

this means, that no gpsd is running, so you won't be able to use a connected
gps device. I guess there should be a gpsd package somewhere in suse, too.

the geoinfo.db is in one of the openstreetmap-map-icons packages.
to get started, you could also use the minimal icon set from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsdrive/files/

Hi,

you can find the File in the openstreetmap-icons*.deb Debian Packages. Maybe
there is a way to convert debian to rpm packages.

Plan is to provide Suse Packages also, but this will still take a little bit.
On the Linuxtag Adrian Schröter started to port and adapt some of the needed
packages for GpsDrive. But exactly the part with the icons and geoinfo.db is
still missing ;-)

Yep, that would be called Alien

I'm a bit confused here, why not just install/build from the tarball?
the icons sets aren't complicated software with lots of dependencies.

The icon sets are compiled. The scripts are filling up the icons structure
from the different sources. So you'd only have a small part of the iconf if
you simply install the icons from the tar ball. The other thing which is
generated inside the debian archife is the corresponding geoinfo.db.

What you sure can do; take the debian packlage unpack it to / and all you need
should be in place.

But what I can do (already started with it some time ago) ; I can create a tar
out ouf the debian install directory. With this tar File you should have all
you need to work propperly.

ok, what I was talking about was this .tar.gz from the SourceForge
download site:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsdrive/files/additional%20data/minimal%20icon%20set/openstreetmap-map-icons-minimal.tar.gz/download

it just has the "minimal" icon set and the geoinfo.db index file.

(howto)
download from  http://gpsdrive.de/debian/pool/lenny/ e.g. these:

http://gpsdrive.de/debian/pool/lenny/openstreetmap-map-icons_16908_all.deb
http://gpsdrive.de/debian/pool/lenny/openstreetmap-map-icons-classic.small_16908_all.deb

(pssst- edit apache settings so long filenames are not cut short... :
apache2.conf  "IndexOptions NameWidth=*")

move .deb to an empty dir then uncompress it with "ar x filename.deb"
followed by "tar xzf data.tar.gz"

It does both ways. That just happens to be the directions for rpm to deb.
