Hallo Joerg

Here is my feedback:

I dowloaded the latest version from gpsdrive , unpacked it and 
launched ./configure

everything seems ok until the following message :

could not find Perl module:Slurp

I finally solved the issue by setting the LC_LANG variable to ""


I now get my correct position by typing 

export LC_LANG="" before  gpsdrive


have a nice day
