I don't have 4.4.1 (installed from the installer) on my computer, but have
4.4.0 and it worked.

To verify:
1. create a script somewhere (lets calls it fake_linux_gpib.sh) that has the
content of the script from the wiki. (you don't need/shouldnt to modify the
INSTALL_BASE variable)
2. open a bash shell from the octave 4.4.1 menus
3. in the bash shell, cd to where the script was created and run the script
created in 1.  ./fake_linux_gpib.sh
3. in the bash shell, verify the files were created:
ls /usr/include/gpib    - should show the ib.h file
ls /usr/lib/libgpib.a   - should show the lib file
4. open octave 4.4.1, and run  pkg install -forge -verbose
instrument-control
It should detect the .h and lib file correctly and install ok
