Hello, the HP8753-Companion was recommended by a good friend (DK1VI) to me. I am not a Radio Amateur, but are running some RF Equipment in order to work on small RF projects. I have here a HP8753D including Test Set up to 6GHz, what is good enough for my private lab.
I have an Agilent 82357B running on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The control of the 8753 is possible using simple Python scripts so far.
The compilation of the HP8753-Companion was terminated with several failures. Can I ask for a little help here in order to get it running. If this is the right place, please let me know. Then I can provide more details. 🙂

Yes .. but please start an "issue". Describe your Linux environment (gcc, Linux kernel, linux-gpib-devel version etc) and the error messages you see.
I don't have an Ubuntu environment but I do have a Raspberry PI which is also Debian based. I haven't compiled on it for many months so something in the environment may have changed and broken things.
I'll reply to your issue and we can go from there..
