GPX Viewer by Qball Cow and Andrew Harvey is the best track | gpx analyzer so far that run on Ubuntu, there's another GPX Viewer by Andrew Gee which is too simple for my need. Unfortunately there's no .deb file nor PPA for easy installing on Ubuntu.
Here's how I installed GPX Viewer on my Ubuntu 10.04. Command Line involved :)
- Download the GPX-Viewer source file here
- extract it, for example in your home directory /home/your username/source/GPX-Viewer-version
- open the terminal, you are already in your home directory, go to the folder by typing this command : cd /source/GPX-Viewer-version
- After that run ./configure this command will configure your installation files and checks for any error
in my case I have this error message (with my emphasis): go to synaptic package manager, from the error message (bolded font, my emphasis) , I know I have to install:
- No Vala compiler found -> install libvala-dev and valac
- No package 'champlain-gtk-0.4' found -> install libchamplain-gtk-0.4-dev
- No package 'champlain-0.4' found -> install libchamplain-0.4-dev
- No package 'gdl-1.0' found -> install libgdl-1-dev
- No package 'unique-1.0' found ->install libunique-dev
run ./configure again to see if any error comes up, if everything okay proceed to next step
- run make
- run sudo make install (you may have to input your password here)
- done find it on Start Menu > Accessories
...

this error shows that I have to install somethings else first, your mileage may vary though.
