Hello.

I'm getting a segfault when trying to use a specific URL with maemo mapper. I want to use a map service that maemo mapper doesn't support, so I wrote my own "WMS Service" script that takes request from maemo mapper, the script then fetches the data from the real service and presents its back to maemo mapper.

I did this over 6 months ago, and it worked fine then. I haven't used maemo mapper much since then, but now I want to start using it again.

However this doesn't seem to work with the latest version of maemo mapper. I create a repositiory and enter the URL, so far everything is fine. But then I turn on auto-download to start downloading the maps, and maemo mapper segfaults. No request shows up in the web server logs so the segfault happens before it tries to connect. I think something with the format of the URL. This is the URL I'm trying to use:

Anyone who has any idea what could be wrong? If there is a copy of gdb for maemo and a copy of maemo mapper compiled with debug symbols available from somewhere I can do a proper backtrace. If not, I'm 99% sure that you can reproduce the bug by trying to use the above URL as the URL for a repository.

So, nobody uses flite anymore???

I don't use flite much from MM, but I think I tried it once with 2.5, worked fine...

Perhaps you can work something out with your employer I hear they've got pretty good bandwidth.

Just a note about misplaced tiles. I notice that I have always gotten misplaced tiles when querying WMS (proj) servers.

EDIT: A screenshot of this weather layer overlaid on (Google Streets) Vancouver; I can watch for rain while my kid is trick-or-treating.



EDIT2: Unfortunately, this shows only fairly heavy rain. It is lightly drizzling right now outside my window, but the weather layer shows no rain in my area.

hmmm... i wonder if i have to reinstall mm from scratch then...

2.5 and 2.5.1 have some issues with flite - should be fixed in 2.5.2.

Awesome. Can't wait for the update. thanks!

Gnuite, any ideas about the segfault I described above?

John Costigan the author is working on it. I emailed him when I found the problem and he got back to me with questions which I was able to answer. Sounded to me like he knew where to look for the problem.
