Whenever I try to run gpsdrive, it just crashes immediately after the splash screen. I am not sure if it is because I am missing something that's required or if is an actual problem with the software and I should be contacting the developers directly. I have tried "emerge gpsdrive" to try 2.04 and "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge gpsdrive" to try 2.09 and both exhibit the exact same behavior. There really isn't any error messages that I can show, so instead I ran it in debug mode and included is the output. I also messed around with a sample "way.txt" which gets loaded and processed, but the program still crashes. I also tried to install gpsd in case gpsdrive required it, but that didn't change anything. ---- # gpsdrive -D libmysqlclient.so not found.

Please, don't restrict bugs without any reason; leave those checkboxes alone.
(In reply to comment #1) > Please, don't restrict bugs without any reason; leave those checkboxes alone. Will do for future bug reports. I didn't see how this could be related to a security problem, so I unchecked the box. If I shouldn't be touching them, the checkboxes shouldn't exist (or at least shouldn't be changeable by a lowly user like me).
The new 2.09-r1 has a USE flag for mysql, so make sure that's disabled (in other words, this should be fixed).
