Uh, you said you used the -p option to gpsd, that turns off the 
auto configuration.

We already know your program is broken in many ways.  See below for
more info.

I already pointed out many problems with yout program, please use
cgps, xgps, or gpspipe to confirm that.  More info below.

Which means you did not read build.adoc...

You might have mentioned that sooner.  I see the lat/lon/alt in there
just fine:

$ gpsdecode < log.raw

So your program is not decoding the data properly, but I already told
you that.  See my previous comments on your code errors.  Then try the
examples.
