The curse that is Bruce

[Bruce Johnson-5]

I struggled with the build from the tarball finally getting a Makefile which produced a gpsdrive which exited thus:

bruce@bruce-laptop:~$ gpsdrive -X -g 900x400
Parsing of options failed: Unknown option -X
bruce@bruce-laptop:~$ gpsdrive

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.

Hilfe, bitte!

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

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.

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.
