All I can say is that if the lat-long grid is ever added to CPN I would be very happy. I like to use my electronic charts not just for real-time navigation but for planning/plotting/dreaming and if I know an object/place only by lat-long it is easier to find it and place it in larger context with a grid...thanks though to everyone who creates this program!

I also would like the lat-long grid. I tried to print a chart for savety if there is a computer blackout, but without lat-long grid its useless

Hi All,

Monday evening I had a crash when closing the toolbox. I thought it was about my problem of slow opening. I try to reproduce it, and it did all the time. It was when I open the toolbox and then choose "Charts" and just have a look without doing anything and then closing the toolbox.

Sometimes Opencpn was suddenly closing, other times, when closing the toolbox, all the charts were gone and it was all gray at their place. So I had to kill the task.
But the last time, it was impossible to launch Opencpn again. I closed the computer and try again. Noway. So I uninstalled it.

But now it is impossible to install it from the cvs. I have tried directly from the site and also with a lot of cvs I still keep (22, 23, 24, 25, 26 th) but again noway.

Here is what I get all the times :

If i try to install it with opencpn_1.3.6_i386.deb, it works. But I would like to install the last beta version.

Hi all,

I succeed this morning to install Opencpn from the cvs (don't know why !), but the same after the crashes, I cannot launched it !

Jean-Pierre

[bdbcat]

JP....

It seems the build problem was caused by some problem with CVS source code download. Looks OK now, but maybe you should try a new download update from CVS.....

Regarding the startup crash: May we see your logfile and config file?

Thanks
Dave

[jpiebrig]

Hi Dave,

I try again a few minutes ago from cvs, but it is the same as this morning : the install is done, well I think, all the files seam to be at the right place, and I cannot launch Opencpn. It begins to open, I see "Opencpn is launching" in the taskbar and nothing more.
I have two log files as the last time it asks me if I wanted to rename .log in .log.log.
I put all log files and conf file here.

Hi Dave,

I can launch Opencpn again.

First I have deleted opencpn.conf in .opencpn. Opencpn was opening again but it was scratching all the time after giving the charts directory and closing the Toolbox (which was always slow to open).

So I have deleted (rename) all the .opencpn directory and then Opencpn launch well and I can fill all the tabs in the Toolbox without any scrath when closing it. AND, the best, the Toolbox is opening normaly (for how many times, I don'tknow...).

But there is still the problem when I open the Toolbox, click on the Charts tab, do nothing and close the Toolbox. OPencpn is scratching all the times.
But it is not annoying, it is enough to know it.

Jean-Pierre

[jpiebrig]

Now, I know how long Toolbox is opening well : less than 10 minutes !

[jpiebrig]

Hi All,

I don't succeed to install Opencpn with cmake.
I have install cmake :

jp@jp-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install cmake

Then :

jp@jp-laptop:~$ cvs -dserver:anonymous@opencpn.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/opencpn login

enter on the password, then :

jp@jp-laptop:~$ cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@opencpn.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/opencpn co -P opencpn

After the download, I open a terminal in "opencpn" and here is all what I get :

Don't know what to do

Check the 2.1.0 beta thread as well, fore more discussion about this. Is the "libgps-dev" package installed on your computer?

Thomas

[jpiebrig]

Cagney,

Yes libgps-dev is installed.
Before asking, I had check all the 2.1.0 beta thread that I follow. But my question has nothing to do directly about the last 2.1.0 beta and I thought its place was here in "Help".

Jean-Pierre

[cagney]

OK!

Could not find module FindGTK2.cmake or a configuration file for package
GTK2.

What's your version of cmake?
This should be at least 2.8.0 to have FindGTK2 module, which you are lacking.(from CMakeLists.txt)
I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 and have 2.8.0-5ubuntu5.

If you have the right version, you have to follow this instruction, from your own post.

Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find FindGTK2.cmake or set GTK2_DIR to the
directory containing a CMake configuration file for GTK2. The file will
have one of the following names:

GTK2Config.cmake
gtk2-config.cmake

No need to do double downloads from CVS, by the way, I'm just using your second version all the time. The documentation describes two alternative ways downloading.

Good Luck!
Thomas

[jpiebrig]

Cagney,

My version of cmake is 2.6.4-1. I am on Karmic because I think I have a problem with Lucid and my screen or with my graphic card. It was very hot and the screen became to jump after 10 mn more or less. So after 3 days, when I can, I came back with Karmic, but now it is the same... I had no problem before Lucid. Just install it and I get the problem and have it still with Karmic.
I don't know if I can update cmake 2.6.4-1 Karmic (or uninstall and install) with 2.8.0-5 for Lucid.
I try it.

Jean-Pierre

[jpiebrig]

Cagney,

I have installed cmake 2.8.0-5 with Karmic but it doesn't work much more :

It looks like you have to upgrade gpsd,gpsd-clients and libgps-dev to 2.92 and install libgps19, if possible.
All the errors seems to hint at gpsd.
