libgps-dev missing some c++ bindings

[BZB]

Binary package hint: libgps-dev

It is not possible to link to libgps because some c++ symbols are missing. This is fixed in 2.37 - see http://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=14197

My setup:
$ uname -a
Linux mail 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 15 15:54:25 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release: 8.04

$ apt-cache policy libgps-dev
libgps-dev:
  Installed: 2.36-2

  Version table:
 *** 2.36-2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages

To reproduce:

install libgps-dev 2.36-2 using Synaptic
create the following source file as libgpsmmtest.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <libgpsmm.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
 gpsmm::gpsmm* gpsHandle;
 struct gps_data_t* gpsData;

 gpsHandle = new gpsmm::gpsmm();
 gpsData = gpsHandle->open();

 if (!gpsData)
 {
  std::cerr << "Fatal error opening connection to gpsd" << std::endl;
  exit(1);
 }

 delete gpsHandle;
}

Attempt to compile this:

$ g++ libgpsmmtest.cpp -lgps -o libgpsmmtest
/tmp/ccn70hRc.o: In function `main':
test.cpp:(.text+0x1ae): undefined reference to `gpsmm::open()'
