My guess is that gps modifies the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable so that
gps_exe (binary executed by gps) links to the .so files provided by
GPS instead of linking to your system's .so files. It seems, at least
here, GPS doesn't provide libcanberra-gtk-module.so. I'm not on Debian/
ubuntu so I have to run gps_exe instead so that it links with my
system .so files; it's really evil but without it GPS looks very ugly.

But in your case the best thing would be to install GPS via your
package manager; so do what Ludovic said :)
