I am trying to use a NI USB 6009 so I am installing NI-VISA 4.5.0 as a prerequisite to DAQmx Base. I get the following error:
Warning: nikali post installation failed! /tmp/nikaliPostInstall.log follows:
And farther down:

NOTHING?
I am attaching niSystemReport output.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide. After many hours trying different things I've found in the forums I am totally stuck.

Just closing the loop for other searchers and readers: the reason for these errors is in the NI Linux Users Community.
