NI-DAQmx installation problem on Fedora10 x86_64

[rohit_rs]

I tried to install DAQmx from the following link:

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3695#toc5

The installation completed, but when i try n run the apllication nothing happens. I had previously installed NI-KAL, visa4882, and visa drivers as per http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2928#cf

when i run updateNIDrivers in the terminal as root, i get this:

Please help

It looks like you have at least two problems.  The biggest problem is that neither NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base currently support 64-bit Linux.  This means that if you need to use our DAQ products on Linux you will need to use a 32-bit distribution for now.  If you need to use 64-bit Linux can you tell me about your use case?

The other problem, which is the cause of the error you posted is that "make" is not installed.  Running "yum install make" should fix that problem, but as I mentioned above our DAQ drivers still won't work.

We are trying to install NI-DaqMX 8.0.1 and NI-DaqMXBase on openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 (kernel 2.6.29) for using PCI6221 DAQ board.After installing NI-DaqMX 8.0.1 and NI-DaqMXBase, we are getting following errors while trying to run updateNIDrivers.We refered to the installation details for NIKALI 1.9 for 64 bit linux in http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2928.We successfully installed the NIKALI module.Then getting some incompality errors while trying to run updateNIDrivers.Refer to the attached file.

Do you have any support for NI-DaqMX 8.0.1 and NI-DaqMXBase softwares on 64bit linux ?

thanks

Unfortunately we do not have 64 bit linux support for either DAQmx or DAQmx Base as Shawn noted above.
