Hello and good morning!
I’ve downloaded the gpsd version 3.23~rc1 and I’ve built and installed it so I can access it in any shell. Cgps, gpscsv, and gpsmon do show up but no information is gathered into these programs. I have waited until they have timed out, but the issue is that I have no device attached to the gpsd. I’ve checked that /dev/gps0 is producing NMEA sentences which it does and I’ve also attempted to use gpsd -n /dev/gps0 but this still did not attach to the gpsd program.
May I ask for any suggestions on how I should connect gpsd to the port /dev/gps0?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, Leon

Hello and good afternoon!
May I ask, how would I use the command
# git clone https://gitlab.com/gpsd/gpsd.git and obtain gpsd version 3.22.1~dev? I attempted to redo the build and install process for gpsd but when using this command, the gpsd informed me it was gpsd-3.2 3~rc1. Would using the tar command work better in this case or would tar in general work better for Linux/Raspberry Pi?
Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Leon Yo Aranza!

Sort of.

Starts well.

The point is to save space, you should do it.

Dunno, you find that out later.

Good to here. But then you skipped a number of steps.
Look here:
https://gpsd.io/building.html#_quick_start
Since you did the "git clone" you can ksip the tar extract, then do
the build and install.

Without all the steps you skipped, that can not work. You can not run a
program you have not built yet, and not before you start gpsd.

You can't just skip the parts you don't understand. Each step builds
on the preveddeing steps.
In my case gpsd-X.YY is just

No. You did a git clone, use that instead of the tar.

Just "cd gpsd"

Then that. Then start gpsd, then run cgps.
