Uh, no.  The link I sent specifically said gpsd works fine and specifically
said how to put the LT-20 in NMEA mode.  Pretty much what you need.

All you need is to install gpsd: i
        $ su -
        # apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients

To run it:
        # gpsd -n /dev/ttyUSB0
        # sleep 30
        # cpgs

Try the apt-get first.  To see if you like it.

If you like it the gpsd tar ball has a file called INSTALL that
tells you how to install gpsd.

In essence, get root, untar the file, cd into the gpsd scource
directory, then:
        # scons --config=force qt=no && scons install && ldconfig

Pretty simple.
