Yes, that would be for whan something is missing.

Of course.

Good assumption, but you also assumed apt-get knows about the dependencies
for the tar ball, which is does not.

YES!  Otherwise you get two different versions of gpsd installed and you
will confuse yourself and the system.

scons will put most of the install under /usr/local.  But you system
will still also bee looking in /usr too, so untablging the mess confuses
all who try.  Keep it simple, get rid os the old distro 3.11 and use
your new 3.16.
