Hi Mark,
   Thanks,

But after adding drvLinuxGpib.dbd
The IOC compilation gives below error
perl -CSD /opt/epics/base-7.0.1.1/bin/linux-x86_64/dbdExpand.pl   -I. -I.. -I../O.Common -I../../../dbd -I/opt/epics/support/asyn4-33/dbd -I/opt/epics/support/stream-2-6a//dbd -I/opt/epics/base-7.0.1.1/dbd -o ls218.dbd base.dbd asyn.dbd stream.dbd xxxSupport.dbd dbSubExample.dbd devls218Version.dbd ls218Hello.dbd initTrace.dbd drvLinuxGpib.dbd PVAServerRegister.dbd qsrv.dbd

  Your Makefile may need this dependency rule:

dbdExpand.pl: Exiting due to errors

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/vishnu/epicsDev/ls218/ls218App/src/O.linux-x86_64'



This may be because of drvLinuxGpib.dbd doesn't appear in my asyn4-33/dbd even after setting LINUX_GPIB=YES in asyn4-33/configure/RELEASE

SUPPORT=$(TOP)/../
-include $(TOP)/../configure/SUPPORT.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
LINUX_GPIB=YES
#  IPAC is only necessary if support for Greensprings IP488 is required
#  IPAC release V2-7 or later is required.

# SEQ is required for testIPServer

#  EPICS_BASE 3.14.6 or later is required

asyn4-33/dbd$ ls

May be still i am missing something. 
Thank you

Hi Vishnu,


I suspect that your application Makefile is missing a line like this:


myIOCApplication_DBD += drvLinuxGpib.dbd


Or, if you are using an applicationInclude.dbd file then it needs this

include "drvLinuxGpib.dbd"

Hi,
   I am using linux-gpib-4.1.0 to access GPIB devices with Agilent 82357B GPIB-USB adaptor.
With ibtest i can access GPIB instrument without any error.

But making IOC as given in
https://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/epics/index.php/How_to_use_GPIB_ports_with_linux-gpib_and_StreamDevice


with LINUX_GPIB=YES in asyn4-33/configure/RELEASE

considering
https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2007/msg01343.php
https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2008/msg00008.php


The gpib library
$ ls /lib/
apparmor/                             klibc-k3La8MUnuzHQ0_kG8hokcGAC0PA.so  systemd/
brltty/                               libgpib.so.0                          sysvinit/
cpp                                   linux-sound-base/                     terminfo/
crda/                                 lsb/                                  udev/


but
$ /sbin/ldconfig -p |grep gpib

doesn't list any gpib library.



But still i am getting and error

## 2 Configure your asynPorts
# 2a GPIB: portname, autoConnect, boardId, timeout, 5th_arg
    GpibBoardDriverConfig("agi", "1", "0", "3", "0")
st.cmd line 18: Command GpibBoardDriverConfig not found.
## Load record instances
dbLoadTemplate "db/user.substitutions"


i am using it on ubuntu 16 with 64 bit machine.

Thanks
Vishnu
