Thanks, Gary.  I think the gpsdMessage and gpsdMessageLen were suggested when I
last asked about this program some time back when the API had changed to
version 7.  This time I do understand the change - I don't need the message so
point to null, and say the length is zero.  Linux/C is not my "first language".

When testing, I still get the error:

pi@RasPi-23:~ $ ./gpsGetSatellites -g .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.33
./gpsGetSatellites: error while loading shared libraries: libgps.so.29: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

in spite of:

pi@RasPi-23:~ $ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libgps.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Sep 23 10:46 /usr/local/lib/libgps.so ->
libgps.so.29.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Sep 23 10:46 /usr/local/lib/libgps.so.29 ->
libgps.so.29.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 110336 Sep 23 10:46 /usr/local/lib/libgps.so.29.0.0

OS is the 64-bit:

Linux RasPi-23 5.10.60-v8+ #1449 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 25 15:01:33 BST 2021
aarch64 GNU/Linux

Cheers,
