the errors you mentioned result from the mapnik map rendering code trying to 
access the postgis database.
if you don't need this feature, try to build gpsdrive without mapnik support 
(see README).

mysql is not supported anymore.
postgres is used to store data from openstreetmap for map rendering and poi

but none of these is really necessary; all the poi data is stored inside an 
sqlite file.

if you don't use mapnik, you can ignore this.
