I am having difficulties installing a support package for Agilent E2050 ethernet-GPIB gateway device.  I got the package from 
http://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/gpib/  The installation instructions are not clear.  This is an extract from the lanGpib.pdf file:

This section explains how the lanGpib driver is installed in an existing EPICS environment.  By far the easiest way to install the package is to create a seperate <top> area (named, for example, 'GPIB') with makeBaseAp.pl (this requires that you use EPICS3.13.1 or later). Copy the tar file into the new <top> directory and unpack it.  You may need to adapt the config/RELEASE resp. config/RELEASE.<arch> to your local EPICS configuration. Then 'make' everything from the <top> directory.

First of all I assume that the author of the note ment makeBaseApp.pl in epics base?  Perhaps not.
The Makefiles which came with the package are inconsistent with existing file names and directory structure created by the makeBaseApp.pl.  I am trying to install in the context of epics R3.14.9.
The instructions provided with the distribution seem out of date.  I guess I need up to date instructions.  Any help will be appreciated.
