Re: [Linux-gpib-general] Problem installing driver on CentOS8

[Søren K. <sq...@dt...>]

Hi Frank.


Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

I tried it yesterday, and changing uaccess.h fixed the issue and the
driver now works as it should and I can 'talk' to the Solartron 1260 FRA :-)

I am sorry that i din not have time to test the suggestion before now,
but our IT department had messed up on the network configuration for
that server and i was not that keen on messing with a server where it
sometimes got the wrong IP address.....


Again, thanks a lot for the help.


Best regards

Søren koch
