Building gpsdrive on Ubuntu 9.04, as updated. The tree is a fresh
subversion checkout, per http://gpsdrive.de/download.shtml.

First problem I hit, while running:

ccurley at grissom:~/gpsdrive-trunk/build$ cmake ..
...
-- WARNING: you are using the obsolete 'PKGCONFIG' macro use
FindPkgConfig

Probably something for the packagers to look at.

-- PKGCONFIG() indicates that libgps is not installed (install the
package which contains libgps.pc if you want to support this feature)

That's a good error message. It tells the user exactly what to do to
solve the problem. Running "aptitude install libgps17" worked. 

Next:

...
-- Found Mapnik: /usr/lib/libmapnik.so
mapnik datadir: /usr/local/share/gpsdrive/mapnik
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they
are set to NOTFOUND. Please set them or make sure they are set and
tested correctly in the CMake files: GPS_INCLUDE_DIR
   used as include directory in
directory /home/ccurley/gpsdrive-trunk/src GPS_LIBRARY
    linked by target "gpsdrive" in
directory /home/ccurley/gpsdrive-trunk/src SPEECHD_INCLUDE_DIR
   used as include directory in
directory /home/ccurley/gpsdrive-trunk/src

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
ccurley at grissom:~/gpsdrive-trunk/build$ 

Any ideas on what to do with this?

Thanks
