The Fedora package of linux-gpib done by 'vccvss' appears to be inactive or abandoned. The packages there do not work on the current Fedora distribution (36) and the snapshot included is now several years old.
I did a pull request with fixes and updates on the vccvss github repository but heard only crickets.

Consequently, I have created a new RPM repository with fixes to the configuration and updated patches to ensure it installs and works on Fedora 35 & 36. 
The new repository is https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vk2bea/GPIB/.

To install the r2020 SVN on Fedora 35 or 36 use:

$ sudo dnf copr enable vk2bea/GPIB
$ sudo dnf install dkms-linux-gpib linux-gpib

to install firmware, for those adapters that require it, then use ... 

$ sudo dnf install linux-gpib-firmware

To install language packages, install one or more ...

$ sudo dnf install guile18-linux-gpib perl-LinuxGpib php-linux-gpib python2-linux-gpib python3-linux-gpib tcl-linux-gpib

To install documentation ...

sudo dnf install linux-gpib-doc

Michael
