Re: Cross compile gpsd-3.20.1~dev for arm with buildroot

[Dan Williams]

Usually when I see this, it's a python2 vs 3 issue:

For instance, if you build scons from python (i.e. python2, which often the default python), it will install the 'gps' package to python2-- the same version as built it.    If you then run "python3 -c 'import gps' " it fails because 'gps' wasn't installed -- for THAT python version.

So, that's the first thing I'd check.

Weren't able to test today, will do that tomorrow! Also a question
regarding installing from gitlab. Installing gpsd with scons doesn't
seem to set the python options. Whenever I try to run ubxtool it says
"Could not find gps, check your PYTHONPATH" or something along those
lines, how can I fix that?
