apologies in advance for the lame question but how do I install these.
Starting gpsdrive gives me the following error:
--------------------------------
chris123@compaq1:~$ gpsdrive
QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc'
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
------------------------------------

the tarball provides icons in /usr/share/map-icons

Since gpsdrive  is looking for the icons in geoinfo.db (1) I must either
recompile but not sure what switches to add, or secondly add it manually
somehow. In either case Im rather lost.

Best regards and many thanks for the speedy turnaround.
