Hi Scott,
 I'm running geoclue on Ubuntu 7.10 fine here,  so you'll probably
need to give some more details (as in where iexactly does the error
appear, have you tried running backends manually, etc.)...

My only suggestion now would be "./configure --prefix=/usr", IIRC the
default install prefix didn't install some dbus files in the correct
place on debian/ubuntu... It's possible to try everything without
installing too, just start a backend manually in one terminal and run
   geoclue-position-example <backend>
where backend = [gpsd,manual,hostip,plazes]. This way the dbus
configuration shouldn't be a problem.
