You need a patch for nikal to make work it under newer linux kernel newer than 3.2.x

[irwan]

No need to patch, try newest KAL.

I think this is the newest: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-kal-2.5/4560/en/

[mig-31]

Thanks for good news Irwan.  Is it also a new version of DAQmx-Base for Linux?

[irwan]

No, that's just the NI-KAL version. I think it has nothing to do with DAQmx-Base for Linux.. Not sure, our group doesn't handle DAQmx-Base..

The latest version of NI-DAQmx Base is 3.7 [1], and it includes NI-KAL 2.3. It's likely that the next release will include NI-KAL 2.5.

Hi,everyone.

I have installed nikal-2.5 and DAQmx 8.01.

but it has something errors.

arlab@arlab:~$ nilsdev

libnipalu.so failed to initialize

Perhaps you need to run updateNIDrivers

Aborted (core dumped)

i follow this https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/12097 to run /etc/init.f/nipal.....

i got the message.

nipal: 3.8.0-29-generic kernel not supported

so i need change ohters linux(ubuntu 10.04 32bit or ubuntu 10.04 32bit) or to intall DAQmx 8.02 ????

Any advice for me

Thank you very much

Best regards

nipal: 3.8.0-29-generic kernel not supported

This means that your kernel is too newer for nipal. Probably, you can try older kernel.

[irwan]

mig-31 is right.. but while there's no way to just update nipal today, there's a workaround that someone suggested: install nivisa 5.4.1. It's a recent release, so it comes with newer nipal.

Try downloading the installer here:

http://www.ni.com/download/ni-visa-5.4.1/4629/en/

See if that works. Can you update this thread with the result?
