Hello Temp_Var,

What version of DAQmx Base are you attempting to install? What OS (including version number) are you trying to install DAQmx Base into?

You could try installing NI-KAL separately, following the instructions in the NI-KAL readme. The most current version of NI-KAL can be found here.

Hi Dan,

Thanks. I am attempting to install DAQMX base 3.2 into Red Hat 2.6.9-78.0.13.EL. Does NI-KAL have to be in a specific directory?

Thanks again.

I installed NI-KAL seperately and was able to install DAQmx Base. On lsdaq, it gives the following error: Device Error: incompatible firmware.  Serial Number: 012AEEEB. Please let me know how I can update the firmware in linux.

Thanks.

I was able to update the firmware by running /bin/FWupdare. I am also able to run the example programs. I am now trying to run some of my programs which I have been running on a different computer with NIDAQmxbase 2.1, I am getting the following error: error while loading shared libraries: libnidaqmxbase.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Please help me with that.

Thank you.

Hello Temp_Var,

There are a couple of things you could try. First, were you logged on as root when performing your installation? If not, reinstall as root.

If this isn't the problem, or if you are still having problems, you caould try copying the problem library into the /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib directories.

Let me know if this doesn't work or if you have any other problems.

Hi Dan_K,

I copied all my progrmas to a different directory and created a new make file and it worked somehow. I think, since I have been using all those programs with the eariler version, the make file was looking for the earlier vesion library (even though my new and old make files look exactly same). 

Thank you very much for your help.
