DAQmxBase Error: DAQmx Base driver failed to initialized.

[d0s4gw]

I completed the installation of DAQmx base on a debian 3.1 system (kernel 2.4.20).

The examples build just fine, but when I run ./acquire1Scan I get the following error.
"DAQmxBase Error: DAQmx Base driver failed to initialized."

So obviously the driver isn't loaded. How do I get it loaded?

Also, when I run "lsdaq", I get some unusual output.
Found the following DAQ Devices:
NI 6143: "Dev1" (PXI0::0::0)

I do have the 6143 card, but it is PCI.

"lspci -n" gives the following output (for the NI card).
0000:00:09.0 ff00: 1093:70c0

Hi d0s4gw,

It is normal to see the "PXI" component in the device name, as that is the VISA Resource Name for the PCI device. The driver has been tested for Kernel versions 2.4.* only on Red Hat 7.2 or later and SuSE 8.0 or later (please see DAQmx Base 1.4 for Linux ReadMe file), hence it's difficult to say if debian 3.1 is supported.

Thanks,
