Re: [gpsd-users] [Gpsd-users] Unable to get gpsd to work with NTRIP

[Charles Curley]

I'm working on Ubuntu 11.04 as updated. I just pulled in the latest,
per https://savannah.nongnu.org/git/?group=gpsd

So far, so good.

Odd. I don't have a PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. It is used at
compile time and (if I read the code in SConstruct correctly) taken
with no changes from scon's environment. Perhaps you do have one, and it
is incorrect?

The only place tinfo.pc shows up on my system is in gpsd/packaging.

I have no tinfo debian package. I have:

address@hidden:~/versioned/gpsd$ pre ncurses
lib32ncurses5   5.7+20101128-1          amd64

Maybe this is a roundabout way of complaining about the lack on an
ncurses library? Do you have the appropriate -dev package? But up
above, it finds ncurses.

bluez is not a requirement. I don't have it and the only effect is that
gpsd does not support bluetooth. Unless you need it, I would ignore
that for now.
