Re: Illegal instruction....

A quick sanity check - when you say that you 'made sure to delete the
distro versions' - did you run

apt purge gpsd

?

That's the only way to ensure that anything apt installed truly gets 
removed.

Paul,

I did at one point, yes.  I'm still unsure about the include file(s). 
Trying a very simple program:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <gps.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv) {
 struct gps_data_t gpsdata;

#if GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION >= 7
       printf ("GPSD API >= 7");
#else
       printf ("GPSD API < 7");
#endif
 return 0;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also produces the "illegal instruction".  I seem to have three include files 
so how can I force the use of the more recent one?  I thought compiling in 
the /home/pi/gpsd directory might do that, but I recall there being 
something about different include file locations - system and local?  I 
wonder how the build of gpsd got it right!  Changing <gps.h> to "gps.h" 
while compiling in the gpsd directory still produced the illegal 
instruction.

Cheers,
David
