Running NI-KAL Post Installation Script ...
Configuring for linux kernel version 2.6.24-24-generic.
********************************* NOTE *********************************
Using kernel headers found in /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/build.
If this does not correspond to the location of the 2.6.24-24-generic headers,
then define KERNELHEADERS in your environment to point to the location
of the kernel headers, define KERNELTARGET as the version of the
kernel for which to compile, and then rerun ./configure.
********************************* NOTE *********************************
Does NI-VISA work on kernels > 2.4?
