Hi,
If anybody's interested, the problem with gpsdrive has to do with the gpsd
demon not running when gpsdrive is invoked. The man page says that without
a gps it should run in simulation mode and that no gpsd should not be running
for that mode - so the program appears to be somewhat usable, but not in
simulation / demo mode (segfaults if no gpsd is running)
Now, all I have to do is whip up a cable to connect my Garmin handheld....
