DAQmx Ubuntu

Hi
I have installed Labview 8.6 under Intrepid Ibex (8.10) Ubuntu distribution
and then I have downloaded the DAQmx driver (DAQmx801f0.iso) from the national site and saved in my computer directory

    max@skynet:~/Scrivania/Documenti/linux/DAQmx801f0$ ls -l

At beginnin I had not suppllied the RPM files and Ubuntu installed DAQmx without errors but in the in the "programming palette ----> measurament I/O" I had not found any new icones.

I have been supplied the RPM files:
    sudo apt-get install rpm

and I have re-installed the drivers
    max@skynet:~/Scrivania/Documenti/linux/DAQmx801f0$ sudo ./INSTALL

Ubuntu say me:
    Checking required install tools...
    Checking installer tool versions...
    rpm        4.4.2.3 can be used with a default installation path
    tar        1.20
    Checking dependencies...
    Warning: glibc was not found in the rpm database, but
         it appears to be installed on your system.
         This most likely means you are not using a RPM based
         Linux distribution, and need to manually populate your
         RPM database, or install with the --nodeps option.

Then I respond with:
    max@skynet:/media/cdrom$ sudo ./INSTALL --nodeps

and Ubuntu again:
    Checking required install tools...
    Checking installer tool versions...
    rpm        4.4.2.3 can be used with a default installation path
    tar        1.20
    Checking dependencies...
    glibc      2.8.90

    LabVIEW 8.5 support will be skipped.

    LabVIEW 8.6 support will be installed to /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-8.6

    Error installing NI-DAQmx for Linux Installer Distribution 8.0.1f0.

    Installer is aborted.

Please Note: In a precedent installation attempt Ubuntu, while it was installing the RPM files, said me twice there was a "bad loop for" and then it aborted the installer.

Are there any people that have already coped with this problem? (and maybe solved)

Thank you very much!

Hello,

 

Ubuntu is not officially supported as you can see at this link http://www.ni.com/linux/support.htm.

 

You might find something on NI forums and you can also take a look at www.lavag.org.
