hi everybody.
everything was working just great until i had to go in the settings and change the map data directory to /dev/null. the app instantly crashed and now will not start, even after uninstalling (even with the --purge switch) and reinstalling. i can't seem to track down what is wrong...
possibly a configuration file created after installation that still contains the bad assignment?

running maemo-mapper from the terminal as root gives:
osso_initialize failed to load

and as 'user' it gives:
libosso warning: yet another assisgnment for
com.gnuite.(etcetc)

can't seem to copy/paste from the terminal successfully but i'd be happy to provide any more information if someone has any bright ideas. i downloaded strace and ran it hoping that would give me a clue but i can't decipher what is going wrong.

please help! im on the road traveling and it's pretty essential now that maps.i40.com is down.

thanks in advance!

edit:
wait, here's the terminal output as user:

$ maemo-mapper

Libosso WARNING: yet another handler registered for:

and as root:

ive installed the 2.3-os2006-os2007-armel.deb.
have mercy on me o wise ones.
