I get no error message, i get only "aborted" if i run any of the files.
e.g.

$ lsdaq
--------------------------------
Detecting National Instruments DAQ Devices
Found the following DAQ Devices:
/usr/local/bin/lsdaq: line 7: 22419 Aborted                 /etc/natinst/nidaqmxbase/bin/daqmxbase_listdevices
--------------------------------


$ nivisaserver

or if i run any of the examples
$ ./acquire1Scan

hello,

i found a passage in the README-file:

"Before installing NI-DAQmx Base on SUSE LINUX Professional, please complete
the steps below. If they are not completed, the installer will fail with an
error.
These steps require you to be running the kernel for which you wish to configure
NI-KAL and its client kernel modules.

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- directory, where
corresponds to the currently running kernel version.
3. Run "make cloneconfig" as root to configure the sources for the
currently running kernel.
4. Run "make modules_prepare" as root to prepare the headers for
compilation.
5. THIS STEP IS STRICTLY OPTIONAL. Completing this step removes the
warning:
WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers is missing,
modules will have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS disabled.
Run "make modules" as root to compile all modules and generate
Module.symvers; this might take 30 minutes or more to complete.
6. Run the INSTALL script for NI-DAQmx Base."

try this steps to resolve the problem,

I already did this steps, In the last optional step, i get error while compiling the kernel modules.  But as it is optional, i expect that everything should work. But it is not working.

I am using gcc3.4.3, i don't know if the driver need the older gcc.
