How to ensure GPSD properly installed and commands are on $Path?

cgps and xgps run smoothly after installed the 6 packages below. All $path stuff are already automatically taken care of without newbies noticing anything.

Perhaps you forgot to install some libraries.

This afternoon I happened to also install GPSD. I am a GUI guy, don't know nothing about terminal commands, not to mention the newbie scary $path. What I did was click, click, click, and tick, tick, tick, ...

1. From GUI Desktop > Install Software > Search "gpsd".

2. Tick all the GPSD stuff that looks useful.

3. Click OK.

4. Day is done, no tears! :)
