Sankar,

It seems to me like it cannot find the GCC compiler.  Have you been able to use the GCC compiler before this or have you just installed Linux on your system?

Hi arron,

I installed the required components lik gcc, make, kernel-source, kernel-syms, and then mesa.

After installing all this, i m getting the following error,

please look at this and help me to solve this.

Post Installation . Warning: nikali post installation failed! /tmp/nikaliPostInstall.log follows: Configuring for linux kernel version 2.6.27.7-9-pae. ********************************* NOTE ********************************* Using kernel headers found in /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-pae/source.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Sankar,

First let me start by saying that right now DAQmx 8.0.1 will not work on openSUSE 11.1.  There are several known issues with how the openSUSE 11.1 kernels have been configured that will prevent it from installing.  Right now I would recommend using openSUSE 11.0 instead.

With that said, the installation procedure on openSUSE 11.0 will be the same.  If you look at the README file for DAQmx there should be a section that explains how to configure your kernel sources on openSUSE.  In short as root you will need to run:

cd /usr/src/linux

make cloneconfig

make modules_prepare

Then run the INSTALL script for DAQmx.

Sankar,

I would suggest posting this question on the LabVIEW Forums. This should get you a better response to help you out with your question. Most of the individuals that monitor these boards specialize in hardware.

..that is a good suggestion. Sankar has posted here.

Install NI-VISA-Runtime-5.0.0.iso (beta ?) after NI-VISA-4.5.0 ... seems fix the problem.
