Re: [Linux-gpib-general] "EDVR 0: OS error" on Ubuntu 15.04

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the help - it turned out I had some pieces of an old (very
old -- old enough that "gpib_config -v" wasn't recognised as valid!)
source build of linux-gpib in /usr/local.

As this was before /usr/lib in my path, it was confusing gpib_config.

Now ibtest works!

$ sudo ibtest
Do you wish to open a (d)evice or an interface (b)oard?
        (you probably want to open a device): d
enter primary gpib address for device you wish to open [0-30]: 8

gpib status is:

ibcnt = 6
You can:

Now on to programming this thing! :)


Incidentally, I build the DKMS / Ubuntu packages. They're in my PPA, and
are based on the Debian ones. No guarantees, etc. -- I only build them
for myself and update them when something breaks.

The PPA is at https://launchpad.net/~philpem/+archive/ubuntu/ppa in case
anyone on list is interested, and they're currently built for Ubuntu
releases as recent as Vivid (15.04).

I think I've mentioned them on-list before, but not for some time...


Thanks,
Phil.
