Dave,

Yes, I am sure that libgps19 is installed I have been in Synaptic and there is the green square before libgps19. Libgps19 is the only one I have installed. No one before.

The code produce that :

Code:
jp@jp-laptop:~$ locate libgps.so
/usr/lib/libgps.so.19
/usr/lib/libgps.so.19.0.0
/usr/lib/googleearth/libgps.so
jp@jp-laptop:~$

I omitted to say that I had not this message with the same version of Opencpn, but installed with cvs.
But with installation with cvs I had no Network LIBGPS in the pull-down menu, only Network GPSD

you need a link to libgps.so.19 in /usr/lib.

please run this:

Code:
sudo ldconfig
then, locate libgps.so should produce

/usr/lib/libgps.so

This is normal stuff, not related to opencpn. I wonder why the link was not made when libgps was installed?

Anywhere, does not matter. ldconfig always updates /usr/lib as default.

Dave,

I have done "sudo ldconfig", but the output of "locate libgps.so" produce the same thing as before. I have re-installed Opencpn from the .deb and it is the same but now I get the message when I choose Network LIBGPS and valid, not when opening.
My re-installation of Lucid is quite new (3 days...) and I don't think I have a problem with it, but never know.
I have done all that is in the wiki and don't find any problem, GPSD is working and I am using the script to run it.
I have uninstalled gpsd and libgps19 version 2.94-2 and installed version 2.92-4, but no change.
Don't worry about that, I have to change my computer in a couple of months and I hope the problem will be solved. Meanwhile I can use /dev/ttyx for my GPS.

All very odd.
You can do the same thing as ldconfig manually.....

Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgps.so.19 /usr/lib/libgps.so
Then locate should produce /usr/lib/libgps.so

and opencpn with libgps should work ??

Dave,

I have done :
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgps.so.19 /usr/lib/libgps.so
But the output is the same :
Code:
jp@jp-laptop:~$ locate libgps.so
/usr/lib/libgps.so.19
/usr/lib/libgps.so.19.0.0
/usr/lib/googleearth/libgps.so
I run startgps and i t was not working.

I have delated opencpn.conf and it is working. Don't understand nothing

I find that delated opencpn.conf often solved problems

Thanks for all

Dave,

I have been with Nautilus in /usr/bin and now I find libgps.so just above libgps19.so (it was not there before you command line, i had checked also with Nautilus) but there is still nothing with "locate libgps.so" in a terminal.

I forgot about locate. It uses a database that is rebuilt daily. Immediate changes are not noticed by locate.....

Anyway, with /usr/lib/libgps.so available, then opencpn with libgps option should be working?

I experienced the same problem as Günther, suddenly the light sectors fill the entire screen, everything goes really slow and the crashes, could not reproduce.

When importing waypoints from a gpx file, the "use nearby waypoint" function does not work. However, when restarting (and openCPN remembers the waypoints) the function does work.

Secondly, and I don't know wether to regard this as a bug, but when using the above mentioned function and creating a route and later wanting to remove the route, the waypoints disappear along with it. Is there a way to remove a route without removing the underlying waypoints?

Been sailing for a few weeks with a previous build (527 something) and everything worked fine, except for the occasional "gf pours a bottle of beer over the keyboard incident"...
