Does NI-488.2 gpib driver fo Linux work with RedHat 7.2

ibconf requires libncurses.so.4.0 and in my RedHat 7.2 installation there is libncurses.so.5.0.
So ibconf doesn't work

Hi,

Yes, 488.2 will work on Red Hat 7.2. The easiest way to overcome the problem with libncurses is to use the binary in the static subdirectory instead of the version that is dynamically linked. If this is not an option for whatever reason, many times you can just create a symbolic link in /usr/lib with in this case, the name libncurses.so.4.0. Typically libraries remain backward compatible, so this would also be an option.

Hope this helps out!
