Hi,
I am trying to install Ni-DAQmx Base 3.2 and (as a
prerequisite) NI-VISA 4.4.
I am using CentOS 4.8.
Linux dhcp0.lab
2.6.9-89.0.23.EL #1 Wed Mar 17 06:22:05 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
I
used yum to get /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-89.0.23.EL-i686. At first I
was getting an error about the kernel-source being missing but I
edited nikal/src/configure because I believe that the kernel source
that I have corresponds to the one on the system.
When I run
the ni-visa INSTALL, I get an error about nipal/nipalk.ko being
missing:

error:
/lib/modules/2.6.9-89.0.23.EL/kernel/natinst/nipal/nipalk.ko not found
error:
Please compile and install nipalk.ko by running
error:
updateNIDrivers
When I run updateNIDrivers, I see that nikal/nikal.ko is
generated, but no nipal directory or nipal/nipalk.ko exists.
How can I
obtain nipalk.ko? Why isn't it being generated? After "Installing
selected components" why aren't these percentages all 100%?
Any advice
or similar experiences would be very much appreciated. Thank you for
your time.
