Re: GPSD stop working after Python upgrade from v. 2.5 to v. 2.6

well, when python upgraded most packages relying on python needed to be recompiled against the new 2.6 python version.

Have you tried this?

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9027 july was the last time it was updated, I am betting that is the problem.

Solved. Oops with #GPS_DEV in /etc/conf.d/gpsd.conf. Maybe old (working) config erased by pacman?
