Hello all, 

I found another issue and then hit a hard stop. 

In the HOWTO section "Live-test the GPS", the reader is instructed to build 
gpsd using:
$scons timeservice=yes magic_hat=yes nmea0183=yes fixed_port_speed=9600 
fixed_stop_bits=1

When running gpsmon /dev/gpsd0, it is expected that there are scrolling lines 
at the bottom showing raw data. I didn't get that. Cross checking with the 
clockmaker script showed that 2 options are missing from the HOWTO text: 
ublox=yes mtk3301=yes

I did a scons --clean and rebuilt adding the 2 options and voila, scrolling raw 
data at the bottom. 

Paul, can you submit a fix for that too?

Here is where I hit the hard stop. Upon running ntpshmmon, there is no data 
available. Up until this point, I would say that the build was going well. 
Everything met expectation (after adding the 2 scons build options). The only 
output I get is the ntpshmmon version and the line showing the column headers 
but no scrolling data. 

I am performing all steps by hand and checking against the clockmaker script. 
The script installs some s/w packages that the reader has not been instructed 
to do at this point in the HOWTO text. Namely install bison, libcap-dev, 
libssl-dev, libsodium-dev. I don't know that this is the cause of the issue. 

The script also performs dpkg-reconfigure on locales and tzdata. I ran those 
and as expected there is no change. 

I also did a reboot and there is no change. I haven't checked any logs to see 
if errors are reported. It's a little late to get into that; probably tomorrow. 
If you have some suggestions, I'd like to hear them. 

Oh yeah, one question: debian stretch offers the gspd package. We could just 
perform apt install gpsd. Why do we build from source? 

Thanks,
Mike Major
