NI GPIB-ENET/1000 not detected from pyVISA, library missing

See original GitHub issue

Goodmorning, I’m trying to comunicate with a Kehytley 2410 trough a NI GPIB-ENET/1000 that I can correctly ping. I have also installed the NI-VISA. I have a centos7 Linux machine.

Output of `pyvisa-info`

As shown above I don’t have the GPIB library so I suppose it is why I can’t see any GPIB when i do: rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager() rm.list_resources() but I don’t understand how to solve it. I have already tried to re-install both NI-VISA and pyvisa. Thank you.
