I try to install the DAQmx Base 3.2 package for PCIe 6259 card on Ubuntu with kernel 2.6.27-14-generic. I was following the suggestions from other messages to convert the packages of the base software to *.deb packages, install these, and rpm install the original RPM packages on top. All this worked fine, and I can update the driver with updateNIDrivers, which prints out the message as shown below. But when I try lsdaq, I get the error (as also reported by many others):
--------------------------------
Detecting National Instruments DAQ Devices
Found the following DAQ Devices:
libnipalu.so failed to initialize
Perhaps you need to run updateNIDrivers
/usr/local/bin/lsdaq: line 7: 25859 Aborted /etc/natinst/nidaqmxbase/bin/daqmxbase_listdevices
--------------------------------
As a note, I do NOT have more than 4Gb memory installed, and I DO use the mem=4096M option during booting of the kernel.
The log files indicate:
Apr 24 00:25:43 xenomai daqmxbase_listdevices: [libnipalu.so.2.3] Warning: source/lib/linux/linLoadKern.cpp:168 - libKernelDriverLoad: Failed to open nipalk, errno: 2

I.e., libnipalu.so does not load due to problems with nipalk. I appended the niSystemReport output to this file.
How would I continue debugging this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
