I had exactely the same problem on my system, also using OpenSuSE Leap 15.

I figured out that the problem is this line:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(4,13,0)

in drivers/gpib/lpvo_usb_gpib/lpvo_usb_gpib.c (line 621)

Changing it to

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(4,12,0)

fixed it for me.

I am not sure how the ticketing system works for linux-gpib to submit a 
patch if it hasn't been done yet, I came across your message when 
searching for the problem for myself.


Bests,


Julien
