gpsdrive-2.10_pre6 is not in the official tree. Where did you get that?

[Comment 2 Juergen Rose 2009-06-22 12:26:20 UTC]

I could solve the problem with the ttf-dejavu font directory by creating a symbolic link:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu -> /usr/share/fonts/dejavu

gpsdrive-2.10_pre6 was from the zugaina overlay, where is now gpsdrive-2.10_pre7.

I'm going to commit the pre 7 in a few days. For now, just uncomment the lines:

#use mapnik && sed -i -e "s:truetype/ttf-dejavu:dejavu:g" \
#    tests/{gpsdriverc,gpsdriverc-in,gpsdriverc-pre} \
#    src/gpsdrive_config.c || die "sed failed"

Don't know why they were commented there :/
