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,

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

Ok, I can see that, but is there no version for my system?

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.

Hello,
NI VISA 5.4 is supported in OpenSUSE 12.2:
