Hi there,
I have a PCI-GPIB card that I am trying to use in a Dell PC running RedHat Enterprise Linux WS 3 (kernel 2.4.21-27.0.4.EL). (Eventually I want to control some Camac instruments with LabView).
Unless I am misreading something, I think the appropriate software driver is NI-488.2 for Linux/x86, Version 2.3.
When I try to install it, though, I get the following error:
ERROR: make of nikal kernel module failed, not installing kernel module.
Please make sure that gcc and the kernel headers/source for the
currently running kernel are installed.
Installation can be completed by invoking the following from
/usr/local/natinst/nikal/src after fixing the problem:
> make install
Otherwise report the problem and run '/usr/local/natinst/nikal/bin/UNINSTALL'
to remove nikal from your system.
As far as I know, I have the complete (i.e. "everything") Linux distribution installed, including kernel source files, etc.
Thanks for any help that you can offer.
