Right here is your answer.  "no probe matched" means it couldn't figure 
out the data stream from your GPS and gave up.  That's why you see no 
data in SHM(0) because there is no valid data to put there.  So the 
first thing to do is figure out what protocol your GPS receiver is 
speaking, then determine if gpsd was compiled for that protocol.
