The only isue I had running that was that the rpm number was different?
the one you posted was:
irwand@linux-nskq:~/Downloads/rpms/nipali.files> rpm2cpio ../nipali-2.9.1-f0.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv
But I got this one. I only downloaded it recently, has there been a new version release in the last 3-4 weeks?
rpm2cpio ../nipali-2.8.1-f0.i386.rpm |cpio -idmv
but it extracted and and the nipal script had content in it which i copied over to the empty file in the proper directory.
I tried running the following and it ended up giving the same error, but at least now the script isnt empty.
I've put the file into the dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dsa9otuwd2kujcm/7gtv7c1Avw
Running df gives the following output, its a freshly formatted harddrive with only opensuse on it i believe.
linux-z992:/usr/local/natinst/nipal/etc/init.d # df

I tried what you said before AND after doing what irwan suggested and recieved the following.
linux-z992:/home/rosmini/Downloads/nidaqmxbase-3.6.0/nivisa/rpms/nipali.files/usr/local/natinst/nipal/etc/init.d # rpm -qVa nipali pipalki
5S.T..... /usr/local/natinst/nipal/etc/init.d/nipal
linux-z992:/ # rpm -qVa nipali nipalki
5S.T..... /usr/local/natinst/nipal/etc/nipal.dir
5S.T..... /usr/local/natinst/nipal/etc/init.d/nipal
Although I'm beginning to think the directory which I called the command would matter

No - it's not sensitive to what your current working directory is.
I'm rather concerned that your /usr/local/natinst/nipal/etc/init.d/nipal script was empty and rpm didn't see anything wrong with that.
At the moment, I feel inclined to suggest running the UNINSTALL script, and re-installing everything.
04-11-2013 09:24 AM
So on non-empty nipal script, you tried running 'nipal start' ? it should create /dev/nipalk
Maybe better yet, run the UNINSTALL script.. reinstall daqmx base, then install NIVISA runtime from here: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3828/lang/en
See if it behaves better.

Hi irwan
Sorry for the lateness of the response, I've been out of the office as I've been unwell. I came in and the NI device was working? I believe it was the manual replacement of the nipal script which solved it, and I simply had not restarted my system for it to take effect. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it before and that still copied over the blank script file. I have no idea why.
Regardless, thank you for the help you have provided on this matter.
