I got the source by doing ``git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gpsd.git''

I wound up with this commit:

Date: Wed Apr 25 08:44:41 2012

Document NMEA2000 support.

I typed "scons" and saw

All configuration flags are defaulted.
Package tinfo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `tinfo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'tinfo', required by 'ncurses', not found
OSError: 'pkg-config --cflags --libs ncurses' exited 1:

I do have libncurses5-dev installed.
