I am looking for setting up a GPIB board under
Linux. The board is a National Instrument NI488.2
PCII, and I am running RedHat 6.0 Linux
distribution (kernel version 2.2.5-15).
I tried to install two drivers, one from the Linux
Lab Project (linux-gpib2.05 at
http://www.llp.fu-berlin.de/) and another one from
National Insrtument (nigpib-linux.0.4 at
http://www.ni.com/linux/ni488dl.html).
They are both supposed to work under linux 2.2.x,
but the installation failed in both cases at a
very early stage (for the llp driver, the
compilation fails, an for the ni one, the loading
of module /lib/modules/2.2.5.25/misc/nigpib.o
fails).0
Was anyone succesfull installing a GPIB driver for
a similar board (PCII) under linux 2.2.x ? What
driver did you use ?
All comments
