The software is released under the GPLv2 license and as source code, so you’ll have to build it and install it yourself. While this is helped along by the use of autogen, there are dependencies that are not listed. The following had to be installed on my Ubuntu 9.04 system:
libtool
libsoap-dev
After installing these two I was able to run autogen, which will have a default prefix of /usr/local/ . A third library came up as not loadable when I went to run the binary, libosmgpsmap, a quick install of libosmgpsmap0 resolved this.
So, you may need to install the three libraries named above.
How do I tell (sorry for the newbishness :/ )
This is my first attempt at installing from source. I wouldn't have taken this on if I didn't NEED the application.
