Hello,
I am trying to communicate via USB through the NI GPIB-USB-HS to some devices with my laptop running Ubuntu 14.04. I cannot seem to get the drivers to work. I am trying to install Linux-GPIB-3.2.21, but I get some interesting errors. I ran:
sudo ./configure
and that worked fine. Then:
sudo bash Makefile
then get the following error:
Makefile: line 26: am__is_gnu_make: command not found Makefile: line 29: syntax error near unexpected token `)' Makefile: line 29: ` ?) ;; \'
When I try to run:
sudo bash INSTALL
I get:
INSTALL: line 2: Installing: command not found INSTALL: line 3: --------------------------------------------------------------------: command not found INSTALL: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `)' INSTALL: line 5: `A) First steps:'
When I type lsusb, I see:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 3923:709b National Instruments Corp. GPIB-USB-HS
But when I type:
ls /dev
I don't see the serialport. (the contents have the same length wether or not the USB is plugged in).
Thanks in advanced

This is not a National Instruments driver, so we really are unable to provide support for it. You may want to try the Linux-GPIB mailing list to see if anyone there can help.

Funny that an HW vendor that claims Linux support can't even support the standard mainline infrastructure, just their own homebrewn and practically useless proprietary blobs.
Just remember: binary drivers never work reliably - nothing but Russian Roulette.
Totally useless, just a waste of time.
