Hi,
I'm trying to make NI-VISA NI-KAL etc running on SL54 (32bit).
UpdateNIDrivers worked fine (see below)
The only thing going wrong is that "driverwizard" doesn't allow me to select USB.
USB is greyed out ! 😞
I assume the kernel sources aren't configured correctly.
I've been seeking on Internet and I find alway the same story (only for openSUSE):
1. Ensure you have installed kernel-source and kernel-syms packages
corresponding to the version of the currently running kernel. The version of
the currently running kernel can be determined by issuing the command
"uname -r".
2. Change the directory to the /usr/src/linux-<version> directory, where
<version> corresponds to the currently running kernel version.
3. Run "zcat /boot/symvers-<version>.gz > Module.symvers" as root to prepare
modversion support.
4. Run "make cloneconfig" as root to configure the sources for the currently
running kernel.
5. Run "make modules_prepare" as root to prepare the headers for compilation.
6. Run the NI-KAL INSTALL script.
BUT UNDER Scientific Linux , "make cloneconfig" DOES NOT HAVE ANY EFFECTS.
How can I configure the current kernel in order to (using updateNIDriver utility) rebuilds the NI drivers using the new kernel sources???
Thanks indeed 😉
