Ah. I went back to your first email. You installed with

One thing that that installation does not do is
install /etc/default/gpsd. So you get to do it manually. I just went
through this myself....

* Copy from the git repo gpsd/packaging/deb/etc_default_gpsd.in
  to /etc/default/gpsd.

* Edit /etc/default/gpsd. Replace @RUNDIR@ with your run directory. On
  my Debian box, that's /run. Check to be sure that's correct for your
  machine.

* Permissions should be:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root

-- 
Does anybody read signatures any more?
