  1. Before running the installer, you must have the following compiler facities installedfrom your Linux distribution CD or other Linux distribution medium:
    1. The GCC compiler and C++ support
    2. The make Utility
    3. The kernel source files for building kernel module that exactly correspond to the kernel version you are running.  For Mandriva this is the kernel-<buildname>-devel package where buildname can be determined by running
      uname -r
    4. libOSMesa.so for test panels to work
  2. Download NI-DAQmx 8.0.1
  3. As root mount the NI-DAQmx 8.0.1 iso
    mkdir /mnt/daqmx
mount -t iso9660 -o loop nidaqmx801.iso /mnt/daqmx
  4. Run the installation script
    cd /mnt/daqmx
./INSTALL
  5. Follow the prompts to install the driver, rebooting if necessary.
  6. After reboot, open the terminal and type
    nilsdev
    to list installed devices
  7. To allow DAQmxTestPanels to run, run the following as root
    mkdir /usr/local/lib/linux
ln -s /usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.6 /usr/local/lib/linux/libOSMesa.so.4
  8. Run DAQmxTestPanels by running
    DAQmxTestPanels --devid=<deviceidentifier>
    where <deviceidentifier> is the identifier shown when running nilsdev.
