I guess this is probably the more correct recipe.

$ wget --trust-server-names 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-gpib/files/latest/download -O 
linux-gpib.tar.gz

$ tar xzvf linux-gpib.tar.gz

$ cd linux-gpib-4.3.7

$ tar xzvf linux-gpib-kernel-4.3.7.tar.gz

$ cd linux-gpib-kernel-4.3.7

$ make -j4

$ sudo make install

$ sudo modprobe tnt4882

$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
tnt4882                36864  0

gpib_common            65536  2 tnt4882,nec7210
...

But the ownership is off

$ gpib_config
