     I  ran cloudmade 5 sometime ago, have since discontinue running it. 
Have removed it from map chooser and properties, it tries to load and 
after 5 minutes of lagging in the left bottom window, the tiled 
osmrender will finally load with the following errors. I installed 
html2ps from synaptic and no maps,
just lines with number 4, Osmrender still works after removal of 
html2ps, errors still there but xastir is working. thanks steve kd5mkv
