Hi,
I am trying to use the gps_client in umd_ros_pkg.So i tried to download the stack using the instructions in tutorial.The link of the tutorial is http://www.ros.org/wiki/gpsd_client/Tutorials/Getting%20Started%20with%20gpsd_client#Using_gpsd_client_for_ROS..
when i tried downloading using the git command it is creating folders but not any files in it.I was not able to download the package gpsd_clientI was not able to compile the package itself .When i tried to build the source using the rosmake the following errors are coming.
[ rosmake ] Packages requested are: ['umd_ros_pkg']               
                                                                                                     
[ rosmake ] Logging to directory/home/avinash/.ros/rosmake/rosmake_output-20110209-224642                                                                              
[ rosmake ] Expanded args ['umd_ros_pkg'] to:
[]                                                                                                                       
[ rosmake ] WARNING: The following args could not be parsed as stacks or packages: ['umd_ros_pkg']                                                                     
[ rosmake ] ERROR: No arguments could be parsed into valid package or stack names. 

I am a newbie to ros.Please excuse me if it is a silly mistake.I am trying to get it working from the past two days without any luck.Looking for some help here.Thanking you..
