[obdgpslogger] build errrors on Raspbian [SOLVED]

[ken]

Long story short, I got suspicious of the zipfile I'd downloaded and 
attempted to build.  I've forgotten where it came from, but it was 
called obdgpslogger-master.zip and I noticed that the download at 
icculus.org/obdgpslogger/#Download was named obdgpslogger-0.16.tar.gz. 
In and of itself this name difference is meaningless... or should have 
been.  But I downloaded the second package gunzipped it and scripted a 
'diff' wrapper to compare all the files in the first package with all 
the files in the second.  Most files were identical, but there were a 
few differences.  Oddly, the Changelog files in the two packages are 
identical... which they shouldn't be if a conscientious developer had 
made changes.

So then I did a build on the obdgpslogger-0.16.tar.gz package and it ran 
fine.  Well, there were some warnings, but those are not unusual in most 
all compiles.  Just for thoroughness and for possible future reference, 
here are those warnings:

....

Perhaps there should be a warning on the web page to avoid other 
packages purporting to be Chunky's and to get the package either from 
the obdgpslogger.icculus.org page or from the svn page linked from there.
