64 bit for nidaqmxBase or nidaqmx on Linux

[sanny]

Is it possible to use nidaqmx or nidaqmxbase on a 64 bit os? I have a machine with an Intel core 2 duo and mandriva 2008 installed on it. Nidaqmxbase installed fine on this machine, but the examples don't compile. The error message that it gives is:

incompatible library - libnidaqmxbase.so

Is this related to the fact that nidaqmxbase works only on a 32 bit architecture?

Thanks,

Raghav

Hello Raghav,

National Instruments only supports 32-bit, x86 architecture for the various Linux distributions.  The error you are getting is likely due to the fact that 64 bit OS is not supported.  For more information about NI products and their use with the various Linux distributions, I encourage you to look at the National Instruments and Linux: Frequently Asked Questions.

Best wishes,
