Okay, I installed gpsman as /usr/X11R6/bin/gpsman (without the .tcl
extension). Shouldn't matter.
My GPS is on /dev/ttyS1
The above command works perfectly without error when I say:
gpsman -dev /dev/ttyS1 getwrite TR Shapefile_2D testgps
in my home directory.
in config.h, relavent information is:
/* Path to gpsman */
#define GPSMAN_PATH "/usr/X11R6/bin/gpsman"
/* Define default GPS port. */
#define GPS_PORT "/dev/ttyS1"
and those are both correct.
No change in operation. Is there a debug level for this GPS stuff yet? I
suppose I should uncomment some of your debug printouts and see what I get.
