Hi,
I am currently trying to install the visa driver 15.5 on opensuse 13.2 as it is supported by ni.
I installed the kernel sources, gcc, make etc.
And now when I am executing the ./INSTALL script, I get the following message:
Checking required install tools...
Checking installer tool versions...
rpm 4.11.3 can be used with a default installation path
tar 1.28
Checking dependencies...
glibc 2.19
Unpacking install files to /tmp/nivisa-15.5.0f1.install...
max: ERROR: Kernel source does not appear to be installed for the 3.16.7-35-desktop kernel.
max: ERROR: Installation of the kernel-source package for kernel 3.16.7-35-desktop is
max: ERROR: required to continue this installation.

when I type uname -r:
3.16.7-35-desktop
ls /usr/src/ :
linux linux-3.16.7-35 linux-3.16.7-35-obj linux-obj packages
ls /lib/modules:
3.16.6-2-desktop 3.16.7-35-default 3.16.7-35-pae
3.16.7-35 3.16.7-35-desktop 3.16.7-35-xen
if i continue the installation and try to start the nipal service I also get an error:
sudo /etc/init.d/nipal start
error: /lib/modules/3.16.7-35-desktop/kernel/natinst/nipal/nipalk.ko not found
error: Please compile and install nipalk.ko by running
error: updateNIDrivers
and
sudo /usr/bin/updateNIDrivers
nikal: ERROR: Error locating kernel sources for the requested kernel version (3.16.7-35-desktop).
usage: ./updateNIDrivers [--no-prompt] [kernelVersion]
kernelVersion
Specify the version of a kernel installed on the system.
A /lib/modules/<kernelVersion> directory should exist for each
kernel installed. The currently running kernel is the default
for ./updateNIDrivers if no argument is provided.
Run 'uname -r' at the command prompt to find the version of the
currently running kernel.
--no-prompt
runs in no prompt mode. Useful if calling this script from
another script. Messages are still printed to the screen and
the return value can be checked for status.
--fast
use fast shortcuts to determine whether modules need to be rebuilt.
Does somebody knows how to deal with this ?
