[ gpsdrive ] GPSdrive crashes on startup

[Andrew Walbran]

Hi all
I am trying to install GPSdrive on my Debian machine, but it crashes on startup.
I have version 2.10svn20159263 from the Debian repository on the GPSdrive website.
When I try to start it, I get the following output. The splash screen appears briefly but then disappears again:

andrew at rata:~$ gpsdrive
DB: Using waypoints from local user file.
Error: Could not find provider PostgreSQL in the current setup

** (GpsDrive:7762): CRITICAL **: gda_connection_add_event: assertion `GDA_IS_CONNECTION (cnc)' failed
