Hello everybody,
my name is Alberto, I am italian and I'm new to the forum.
Thanks at all for your help.
I have a new problem on openSuse 12.3 with LabVIEW 2011SP1-f1.
I have installed NI-VISA 5.3 changing line 2264 of "INSTALL" file in this way:
# $RPM -Uvh $RPMOpts $installPackageList
zypper in $RPMOpts $installPackageList
I also applied the Nikal patch and all the installations ends without any error.
The new problem is that "gpibexlorer" does not detect the PCI-GPIB card installed and "visaconf" detect only "ASRLx :: INSTR".
The two program don't detected any error but the GPIB devices are not usable.
The output of "lsmod |grep ni" is:
nidimk 328435 0
niorbk 100920 1 nidimk
ni488lock 16105 0
ni488k 288107 0
nipalk 1222197 5 nidimk,niorbk,ni488lock,ni488k
nikal 82606 1 nipalk
Can you help me for the detection of the GPIB-PCI board?
Thanks
Alberto

Hello everybody
I have partially resolved the problem.
If I start manually the service "gpibenumsvc" I can see the gpib board with "gpibexplorer", but when I launch the "visaconf" command all the system freeze and I must reboot.
Can someone help me for this problem?
Thanks
Alberto

There is an easy, but hackish way to avoid the "file conflict errors" that are thrown by RPM 4.10. Open the INSTALL file in a text editor and search for this block:
if [ $noDepChecking -eq $kTrue ]; then
RPMOpts="--nodeps"
echo "*****************************************************************************"
echo " Warning: --nodeps is an unsupported option."
echo " Installing without dependency checking is dangerous."
echo " Only use this option if you know what you are doing."
echo "*****************************************************************************"
else
RPMOpts=""
fi
Edit it and insert the option "--replacefiles" into RPMOpts. The block should then read:
if [ $noDepChecking -eq $kTrue ]; then
RPMOpts="--nodeps --replacefiles"
echo "*****************************************************************************"
echo " Warning: --nodeps is an unsupported option."
echo " Installing without dependency checking is dangerous."
echo " Only use this option if you know what you are doing."
echo "*****************************************************************************"
else
RPMOpts="--replacefiles"
fi
Save the file and run it.
(Of course this is only a hack and a workaround. The RPM's should be fixed instead.)
