====== Compiling linux-gpib support ======

After you upgraded kernel on machine with GPIB interfaces supported by [[http://linux-gpib.sf.net|linux-gpib]], you will need to upgrade //linux-gpib// modules.

<xterm2>
user@host:cd linux-gpib
user@host:~/linux-gpib$ ./configure 
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
....
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
user@host:~/linux-gpib$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `...../linux-gpib'
....
user@host:~/linux-gpib$ sudo make install  # or some other way how to become root
Making install in include
....

make[1]: Leaving directory `....../linux-gpib'
user@host:~/linux-gpib$ 
</xterm2>

Then you will need to install kernel module, using modprobe tool. To install //ni_usb_gpib// module for NI USB interface, do:

<xterm2>
user@host:~/linux-gpib$ sudo modprobe ni_usb_gpib  # or again some other way how to run this command as root
user@host:~/linux-gpib$ dmesg | tail
.....
