Problems with Installing LV 2010 On Linux

[neurostu]

its very easy to switch to the non PAE kernel. From the terminal you can run:  sudo yum install kernel, then next time the computer boots up select the non-PAE kernel from Grub.

Something else worth noting is the amount of RAM located on  your video card is also counted when counting your total RAM.  I had a computer with 4 1GB dims and a video card with 256 mb of RAM, after I switched to the non-PAE kernel I was still having problems. I had to remove one of my RAM sticks before I could get everything working.

I have only 1 GB RAM

I haven`t non-pae kernel, can you tell me how I can check pae support on me default Suse kernel ?

LabVIEW should install on OpenSUSE 11.3 without any problems, and it sounds as though it has.

The problem you're having is with driver support, which is expected since OpenSUSE 11.3 is not yet supported by NI-KAL. Downgrade to 11.2 and installation will go much more smoothly. The first driver you should try is NI-VISA 5.0 [1], since the others have not been built with LabVIEW 2010 in mind as they were released with LabVIEW 8.0, but it may be possible to mass compile the VI APIs for LabVIEW 2010. I've had success with using DAQmx 8.0.1 under LabVIEW 8.6.1.

But can you tell me where can I see som traces, that are more informative than:

nibnipalu.so failed initialize

Perhaps you need to run updateNIDrivers

I have something better than traces: documentation 🙂
