 Unfortunately, I had already performed all of those steps and still no 
rendering. The weird thing is that the background was completely white as 
opposed to that pastel blue that I've seen happen that the troubleshooting 
describes.

 So, I decided to try gpsdrive under Kubuntu 8.10 and poof! the maps are 
rendering as expected with mapnik. I've tried this now several times and the 
results are the same. Both of these were clean installs. So I'm going to try 
compiling under Ubuntu 8.04 instead of Kubuntu and see if I get the same 
results.

 Now on to a few questions. When I compile from svn and start up gpsdrive, I 
get those annoying "###WARNING: Failed to load image 
file '/usr/local/share/icons/map-icons/rendering/blah.png' errors due to that 
directory not existing. How can I fix this? Also, is there a way for the 
SSID's to show up in the map rendering nest to the icons? I'm pretty sure 
that they used to show up with my previous installation under Gentoo. 
Thoughts?

Thanks.
