Hello,

Did Yout try to run updateNIDrivers utility as a root?

I had similar problem (here). I ran out of memory durig compilatoin of drivers but, anyway,

$ dmesg

command was very helpful for me. I think that Fedora is not supported Linux from NI.

Hi, 

 

1. Try this command and in case of any error, send the output from console ...

 

sudo /usr/local/bin/updateNIDrivers $(uname -r)

You must have Linux headers installed, before running update drivers.. I don't know how to install it in Fedora. Maybe something like yum -y install kernel-devel kernel-headers 

 

2. output from dmesg command contains very useful information about running system. So in case of troubles, dmesg can give some hints.. but for now, you don't need to use it. 

 

I recommend to install one of the supported Linux. Centos, openSuse, ...

 

Good luck!

I am on CentOS and tried this (including ensuring that I have the right kernel-devel and kernel-headers), but got the following error:

 

nikal: ERROR: Error locating kernel sources for the requested kernel version (3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64)

 

Any ideas?
