should have been more clear:

i would like to install the latest 0.6.7.1 tar.gz 
(http://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/downloads/detail?name=GMapCatcher-0.7.6.1.
tar.gz&can=2&q=) on Ubuntu

the available .deb version 0.5.7.0 results in the error described in issue #264

-id

The way I do it in Ubuntu is just extract the files from the tar.gz and run the 
map.py

You could also get the files directly from SVN:
svn checkout http://gmapcatcher.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gmapcatcher-read-only

great, thanks, that works for me

i was under the impression that the extracted files code had to be compiled

i'd put a short note about that in the README

Hello warda90mcs,

We have a wiki with some instructions for windows here:
http://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/wiki/devEnv

In the past I had some issues mixing different versions of the PyGTK and 
Python. The version of the components that I have used and tested is here:
http://gmapcatcher.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/installer/setup.bat

Also looking at your error it seems that you are missing some files, how did 
you get the source code?

ar.gz&can=2&q=

Yes that should work.
Just make sure that the file exists:
C:\Users\noor\Desktop\gmapcatcher\mapGPS.py

You can also get the latest using from the SVN trunk.

Yes in ubuntu there is less stuff to install, you get the sources from SVN and 
it just works, but windows should work as well, the error you where getting is 
because it could  not find the file C:\Users\noor\Desktop\gmapcatcher\mapGPS.py
