ni488 on Redhat-EL 5 and 6

[afluegel]

Hello,

i'm trying to install the ni4882 2.9.1f0 driver on a Redhat-EL5 system.

Running the INSTALL script, immediately i get the error message:

...

Unpacking install files to /tmp/NI4882-2.9.1f0.install...

************************************ ERROR *************************************

* Kernel source does not appear to be installed for the 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5 kernel.

*    Installation of the kernel-source package for kernel 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5 is

*                   required to continue this installation.

************************************ ERROR *************************************

On Redhat EL5 or 6 (what is supported according to the README.txt file coming

with the package) there is no such package kernel-source . AFAIK it is

available on SuSE. On Redhat, the kernel sources come as source-RPM,

what serves a completely different purpose and are not usable here.

Tracing the script shows, that it wants the directory /usr/linux/src/include ,

what does not exist on Redhat-EL5 or 6.

Is Redhat EL5 and 6 really supported ?

Thanks for any hint !

There is a regular RPM for RHEL that provides the sources for the currently running kernel, for pretty much just this purpose.  I don't have an RHEL box handy at the moment, but I think you could try "kernel-devel".
