I am aware of the supported distros, But FC7 has, theoretically, got everything that is needed. The problem is finding out the error.
For instance, when I run updateNIDrivers it does *not* install nipalk.ko driver, you can see below:
[root@linux-lec ~]# updateNIDrivers
Configuring for linux kernel version 2.6.22.9-rtai.
********************************* NOTE *********************************

If this does not correspond to the location of the 2.6.22.9-rtai headers,
then define KERNELHEADERS in your environment to point to the location
of the kernel headers, define KERNELTARGET as the version of the
kernel for which to compile, and then rerun ./configure.

Uninstalling NI-KAL (nikal): done
/bin/rm -rf objects
Updating NI-KAL:
NI-KAL successfully updated.
Rebooting is required to ensure that National Instruments drivers
have been successfully updated.
Would you like to reboot now? [yes|no] no
[root@linux-lec ~]# ls -a /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-rtai/kernel/natinst/
. .. nikal
Meaning: either updateNIDrivers is faulty or the installation was faulty in the first place.
If anyone there at NI could just point me to something, like, where can I find source for nipalk or what could I have done wrong, I'd very much appreciate it.
