You can only have one copy of gpsd running.  You have two copies installed.
The only way you know which is running is to kill them all, and start
fresh.  That is what the "killall gpsd, gpsd -n XXX" does.

Once again, follow along, don't do that!  Just let NTP run.

Well, did you read that message??

And, once again, follow along, don't do that!  Start in the right directory
and stop fogetting the -n option.

Once again, follow along, don't do that!  You keep forgetting the -n option.

Once again, follow along, don't do that!  Just let NTP run.

Once again, follow along, don't do that!  Fix your ntp.conf so SHM(1)
is preferred and you have no pool.  Many things to fix in your ntp.conf,
look on the timer server howto.

Once again, just follow what we keep telling you.

1. you still have not removed your distro gpsd

2. you keep forgetting the -n option to gpsd.

3. your ntp.conf is still bad

4. until you have a GPS fix, it ain't gonna work anyway.

Also, reread the time service howto until it makes sense.  It works.

And, once again: Softly, Softly, Cathey Monkey
