I had the same problem compiling the modules, but due to the broken pcmcia support. Since I maintain several workstations using GPIB, I decided to fork the package and add DKMS support. No manual coompiling is required.
Here is my PPA with the most current upstream version: ppa:v-kukol/gpib (https://launchpad.net/~v-kukol/+archive/gpib) Would be nice if this could find its way into the main ubuntu repo somehow. Changes: gpib (3.2.16-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low . * New upstream release. * Added DKMS support package: + debian/control: new gpib-modules-dkms package, depends on dkms + debian/rules: builds gpib-modules-dkms package + debian/dkms.conf.in: dkms configuration file + gpib-modules-dkms.postinst: gpib-modules-dkms.postinst: adds/removes configuration to/from DKMS * Added firmware package: the firmware is dynamically downloaded from http://linux-gpib.sourceforge.net/firmware/ + debian/control: new gpib-firmware package + gpib-firmware.[postinst|prerm] downloads/removes the firmware * debian/rules: + removed --enable-pcmcia flag, since PCMCIA support is broken for kernel versions > 2.6.36 (will be fixed in next upstream release). * debian/patches/series: - regen-autotools.patch - autoload.patch already in upstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/735531 Title: gpib-modules doesn't compile in natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpib/+bug/735531/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
