cannot use IRIS15 with SDK 3.9 in Ubuntu 20.04 #10

I am having trouble using the IRIS15 camera, it is not being detected. I think I followed all the instructions for installation of pvcam and pvcam-sdk in downloaded 3.9.4.2 zip file. Here is what I tried

> sudo usermod -a -G users user_name
# reboot computer
# all previous pvcam/pvcam-sdk installation were removed
> sudo dpkg -i pvcam_3.9.4.2-1_amd64.deb pvcam-sdk_3.9.4.2-1_amd64.deb 
> sudo poweroff
# power cycle camera, wait 45 sec
# boot PC
# run examples/pvcamtest

Operating system: 5.8.0-38-generic #43~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Also attached snapshot of installation instructions used and errors generated when running PVCamTest and ImageSequence sdk example binary.

Like to add that the same camera is usable when using PVCAM SDK 3.8.16. The reason I am trying to use PVCAM SDK 3.9.. is that it seems to provide a working version of PVCamTest for Ubuntu20.04 which is quiet useful for various reasons.

We are working to replicate your problem. Are you using USB or PCIe?

PCIe

There was a mix-up with the Linux PVCAM and PVCAM SDK posted on the website. Please re-download the installers and re-install. Sorry for the confusion.
