This is a fork of the original version to make the same setup run on a newer version of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
I initially had some problems installing on my laptop, so decided to boot Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, 3.13.0-32-generic from USB and work from there.
Download the linux-gpib package, unpack and build. Get python-setuptools
first for later Python bindings support.
