[VISA 17]libnipalu.so failed to initialize

Hello guys,

I'm using OpenSUSE 42.3 KDE 64bit as system.

I've been able to install LabVIEW 2017 64bits and VIPM 17.0 .

As you can see from the title, I got problems with VISA 17, this is what I get as output:

phederigo@linux-inas:~> visaconf 
libnipalu.so failed to initialize
Perhaps you need to run updateNIDrivers
Aborted (core dumped)

I've already used updateNIDrivers, it didn't solve the problem unfortunately.

I've had some problems during the installation related to the Kernel (here is the problems I had and how I solved them: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/530868-LEAP-42-3-KDE-64Bit-LabVIEW-2017-(VISA)?p=2864620#... ) I will put a screenshot related to the Installation, the only things that might be a bad sign was:

cat: /etc/natinst/linux/linux.dir: no such file or directory.

 

Hope some of you can find a way to help me, thanks.

OK, seems I solved it.

After solving problems related to the kernel, all I needed to do was to start nipal.

usr/local/natinst/nipal/etc/init.d # ./nipal~ start
