Hi,

this looks to me as if gpsdrive tries to use the world_boundaries for the mapnik rendering,
also they should be commented out in this version by default.
Could you please verify if your ~/.gpsdrive/osm.xml does not contain any references
to the world_boundary layers?

e.g.

<Layer name="world-1" status="on" srs="+proj=merc +datum=WGS84 +over">
    <StyleName>world-1</StyleName>
    <Datasource>
      <Parameter name="type">shape</Parameter>
      <Parameter name="file">/usr/share/gpsdrive/mapnik/world_boundaries world_boundaries_m</Parameter>
    </Datasource>
  </Layer>

should be commented out (or point to an existing file on your system).

Regards,
Andreas

Yes, 'got exception...' is coming out of the mapnik 'shape.input' dynamic library/plugin. If you update gpsdrive against the new Mapnik 0.6.1 package then you should get much better error output.
