apologies in advance for the lame question but how do I install these. 
Starting gpsdrive gives me the following error:
--------------------------------
chris123 at compaq1:~$ gpsdrive
QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc'
Can't connect to gps daemon on 127.0.0.1:2947, disabling GPS support!
DB: Error while opening /usr/local/share/icons/map-icons/geoinfo.db: unable to 
open database file
------------------------------------

the tarball provides icons in /usr/share/map-icons 

Since gpsdrive  is looking for the icons in geoinfo.db (1) I must either 
recompile but not sure what switches to add, or secondly add it manually 
somehow. In either case Im rather lost. 

Best regards and many thanks for the speedy turnaround.
