I need to control an equipment from Agilent via GPIB under python in ubuntu 20.04. I have installed the visa libraries from Keysight, also from national and pyvisa-py, but when I cannot manage the device. When I check the pyvisa-info i obtain:
/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/gpib_ctypes/gpib/gpib.py:54: UserWarning: GPIB library not found. Please manually load it using _load_lib(filename). All GPIB functions will raise OSError until the library is manually loaded.

gpib_ctypes is installed but could not locate the gpib library.
Please manually load it using:
gpib_ctypes.gpib.gpib._load_lib(filename)
before importing pyvisa.
It seems that the problem is that gpib_ctypes does not found the gpib library, I tried to install, but the repository does not be available.
I just install the VIsa of NI (ni-visa and ni-4883) also try to compile the gpib library but nothing work
Any sugerence? thank you!
