Re: [gpsd-users] Is GPSD receiving PPS?

[Frank Nicholas]

Hello Bo,

Your Raspberry Pi distribution may be the latest Raspian available, but it has a pretty old GPSd in the repository and some other pieces are missing that might be included with other Linux distributions.

To make the user compiled GPSd MAN pages available, you should find a config file somewhere in “/etc”, where you can add “/usr/local/man” (where the source installed GPSd MAN pages are located) to the man pages system.  I’m not sure where it is on Rasbian Jessie…

On Gentoo, it’s located at “/etc/man_db.conf”, and looks something like this:

MANPATH_MAP /bin /usr/share/man

MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin /usr/share/man

MANPATH_MAP /sbin /usr/share/man

MANPATH_MAP /usr/sbin /usr/share/man

MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man

MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man

MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man

MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share/man

Thanks,

Frank

I just wanted to chime in that the challenges are not hardware
platform issues - they are related to the Linux distribution for the
Raspberry Pi that Bo is using, which is a little slow to update

Distribution: Raspbian Jessie from 2016-02-26 AAMOF.

Agreed.  Initially.  But the thread now shows how build.txt needs to be
updated to handle people with only an intro skill set.  I already
added a bit to that file, but when Bo is done, more will need to be done.

I got it compiled and running now (manually started).
Need to go over the systemd stuff again (I did that on the apt-get
version, which is now removed) so that the service will start working
again.
Maybe I should symlink from the deposited files in /usr/local/bin/ to
/usr/bin or wherever it was put by apt-get?

And another thing (I have not checked the build.txt file on this yet):
After apt-get remove all man entries also vanished so I need to find
out how these can be reinstated.

But now it is midnight over here so it will be for another day.

Thanks for your patience and support!
