Plugins and Drivers

Step 1. After installing the correct linux distro, install the NIDAQ driver (located in the downloads folder) and boost version 1.45 (also located in downloads). More information on NIDAQ configuration is in the download, under NI-DAQmx 8.0.1 for Linux Configuration Guide.

**Step 2.**You will also need to install gtkmm-2.4 which is not available in the official CentOS repositories but is available on RPMforge. To install RPMforge see here: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge

3. Then you can install gtkmm-2.4 using

 yum list *gtkmm24*

4. Following these installations, run the mwl_scope nidaqmx test program (in the downloads file), which should build and run fine on test machine.

5. Then install the GCC4.4:

 yum install gcc44 ::note that there is no dot

If your computer is like "what gcc?" when you ask "which gcc," then rename your /usr/bin/gcc44 folder as /gcc, and the g++44 folder as /g++. (You may also have to uninstall any other old versions of gcc that are floating around on your computer).

// NOTE: the nidaq driver will only install with gcc4.1.2 so make sure you install the driver before you update GCC. If you don't and need old GCCs, this is a good link: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gcc-c%2B%2B
