should be fixed by r3848. (Xfce dir structure changed since Karmic)


AFAICT there's nothing wrong with GpsDrive's install script; some of the
build tools disappeared. perhaps somehow setdown.sh got run before all
scripts were complete? shrug.


* load_postgis.sh's osm2pgsql will need to be modified due to a chicken
and egg problem: Barcelona.osm is not downloaded until install_osm.sh,
which runs after install_postgis.sh. Suggest to move the osm2pgsql stuff
into install_osm.sh; if possible setting up the PostGIS DB in a way
compatible with Ross Scanlon's instructions here:
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gpsdrive/index.php?title=Setting_up_Mapnik

so that the resulting OSM DB can be accessed live from within GpsDrive &
then we can drop the pre-rendered sample data for that. (was 73mb for
Sydney)

also AFAIK osm2gpsql is smart enough to read planet.osm.bz2 files directly,
no need to unbzip them first.
