I cannot install NiDAQmxbase on suse 11.1

I am trying to install nidaqmxbase on a Suse 11.1 and get the following error message:
******************************** ERROR ****************************************
* Kernel source in /usr/src/linux does not appear to be
* for the 2.6.27.7-9-pae kernel.
* Ensure that kernel source for the 2.6.27.7-9-pae kernel is installed
* and configured. Refer to the README file for the product you are *
* installing for information about configuring your kernel source. *
******************************** ERROR ****************************************
/proc/version tells me I have 2.6.27.7-9-pae but my kernel-source is 2.6.27.7-9.
Is there anyone who know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Håkan

 

You need to have the same version of the source as the currently running kernel. I don't know why the install script takes exception to the PAE flag, but I think the simplest solution would be to revert to the default version of the kernel. That is if you don't absolutely need the extra functionality. Normally you use PAE to access more RAM than 4 GB on a 32 bit Windows OS, but OpenSUSE already supports 16 GB per defaul so if that is your reason for using it you can just as well use the default kernel.

 

Best Regards
