NI-DAQmx Base on Fedora 18 i386

[bruno2040]

I am trying to install NI-DAQmx Base 3.6.0-f0 on Fedora 18 i386.

(I was using so far succesfully NI-DAQmx Base 3.6.5 on a Fedora 14 i386)

When I run the NI-VISA installer in the nivisa subdirectory, I get this message:

Error installing NI-VISA for Linux 5.2.0f0.

So, something went wrong with RPM in the following line of the INSTALLER file :

    $RPM -Uvh $RPMOpts $installPackageList

It seems that there are conflicts bewteen packages...

Any Idea ?

Do I need to install all these packages to run the NI USB-6008 ?

Unfortunately, we do not officially support Fedora as seen in the DAQmx driver readme. It may be helpful to consult the Linux User Group, which has a large following of Linux enthusiasts that have a deeper understanding of the operating system. The latest driver is DAQmx Base 3.6, but it only supports SUSE, RedHat, and Scientific Linux, as mentioned on http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3434/lang/en.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I know that Fedora is not officially supported.

However - with some modifications in the packages - I had been able to install Daqmx base on fedora 6 up to fedora 14.

The Linux User Group you mentioned may be contacted with this address, right ?

Tanks again.

Yes, someone from this group might have ran into the same issue.
