DAQmx 8.01 on opensuse 11.3

[thenameisgabe]

I followed the instructions on both the forums and the readme file on the iso but I still get the following error:

* Kernel source in /usr/src/linux does not appear to be
* configured for the 2.6.34-12-desktop kernel.
* Configuration of kernel source is required to continue installation.        *
* Refer to the README file for the product you are installing for information *
* about configuring your kernel source.    

I followed these instructions as well:

http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2808

But the

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/source/

directory does not actually contain the kernel sources, another folder in the same directory does. I'm assuming that because the uname -r output does not match the folder for the kernel sources, that the installer cannot tell that it is actually configured for the kernel. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I believe that it's missing step 3 from the nikal readme file below:

During installation on openSUSE, you may see the following error message:

"Kernel source does not appear to be configured for the running kernel.

Configuration of kernel source is required to continue installation." This

message can occur even if you have installed the correct kernel sources, if the

sources require configuration. This problem has been seen on openSUSE.  However,

it is possible that other distributions will require similar steps to resolve

this problem.

On openSUSE complete the following steps:

1. Ensure you have installed kernel-source and kernel-syms packages

   corresponding to the version of the currently running kernel. The version of

   the currently running kernel can be determined by issuing the command

   "uname -r".

2. Change the directory to the /usr/src/linux-<version> directory, where

   <version> corresponds to the currently running kernel version.

3. Run "zcat /boot/symvers-<version>.gz > Module.symvers" as root to prepare

   modversion support.

4. Run "make cloneconfig" as root to configure the sources for the currently

   running kernel.

5. Run "make modules_prepare" as root to prepare the headers for compilation.

6. Run the NI-KAL INSTALL script.

I did the extra step but I keep getting the same error.

Thanks for your help though.
