NI VISA OpenSUSE 12.2

Hello,

 

I`m trying to install NI-VISA on my OpenSUSE 12.2 64-bit system. The latest version for Linux, that I found, was NI-VISA 5.1.2. The instalation aborted with the error:

 


*****************************************************************************

Is there a version for SUSE 12.2 available, or some other way so that I can install NI-VISA?

 

Thank you for help,

Stefan

According to http://download.ni.com/support/softlib//visa/NI-VISA/5.1.2/linux/README.txt

you need OpenSuse 11.3 32-bit version

Not according to NI.com

NI-VISA 5.2 is Windows-only right now.

Hi,

 

There's a non official way for installing NI-VISA 5.2 on opensuse 11.3 and 12.1.

 

Just get the last version of DAQMx for linux.

 

Regards.

I would suggest installing NI-VISA 5.3. It does not list support for OpenSUSE 12.2, just 12.1, but it is much more likely to work than anything older.
