Error installing NI-VISA for Linux 5.4.0f0.

 Is the NI-VISA package broken? How to install it on linux?

[Dennis_Knutson]

I don't use Linux but as you can see from the download page, 7.0 is not supported. Not even with the latest version of NI-VISA, which is 14.0.

p.s. You also posted to the wrong board. Instrument Control board is for VISA questions, not the first Multifunction DAQ board.

Thank you for your answer. I've installed SL6, but still can not complete the setup. Now the installer can not find krenel source, despite the fact that kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages are already installed.

Hello Taomach,

Please post this question to the Instrument Control Board to increase the viewership of this issue.
