After doing the ldconfig thing, version 0.9-1 starts, but it does not initialize the GPS. The GPS icon never appears in the status bar. So it never gets any location information.

When I run it from the command line I see the following messages:

ApplicationController: Loading application configuration.
ApplicationController: Attempting to start up location services.
ApplicationController: Location services started.
ApplicationController: Connecting telemetry source signals.

So it seems to think it started location services, but it did not. Other GPS apps including Nokia's map and GPSJinni work fine, as does the Qt mobility demo app and the 0.8.2 version of Columbus.
