✘"Can't find packet library")

[Gary E. Miller]

Yo All!

So I just tried to use gpsfake outside of the build tree.  Which
I rarely do, but will be common for most people.  And it fails.

# gpsfake -1 -P 3000 4h-raw.ubx
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/gpsfake", line 31, in <module>
    import gps.fake as gpsfake   # The "as" pacifies pychecker
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gps/fake.py", line 92, in 
<module>
    from . import packet as sniffer
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gps/packet.py", line 106, in 
<module>
    _packet = importado()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gps/packet.py", line 102, in 
importado
    raise OSError("Can't find packet library")
OSError: Can't find packet library

libgpsdpacket.so.27.0.0 is properly installed here:

    /usr/local/lib/libgpsdpacket.so.27.0.0

And I thought we got rid of this:

    # Look for Library in ancestors
    cwd = os.path.abspath(__file__)

Wandering through the file tree is un-good.

Ideas?
