<dl><dt><span class="subheader">Special Requirements
<ul class="normal">
<li><a href="http://www.trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/index">Qt 4.2.2</a> is required.
<li>The <a href="http://expat.sourceforge.net/">Expat XML Parser</a> is required for the GPS plugin. This vastly improves the speed and memory management when loading GPX files.

</ul>
<span class="normal">
GSL and Expat are optional and required only if you want to use the georeferencer or GPS plugins respectively. SQLite is always required.
