Alexander,

I believe GPX support was introduced into OGR in the 1.5.0 release, and
it is only enabled for reading in builds that include the Expat XML parser.
I would suggest you try it at the commandline with ogrinfo:

   ogrinfo -al test.gpx

I'd add the error report does not seem to indicate any path, so there
may be a path problem.  You might want to try with a full path from
the root, and see if that works.

Best regards,
