The following tar files exist with the driver and library compiled with the GNU gcc version shown:

ƒAcqirisLinux-3.1a-gcc-3.3.tar.gz - compiled under Suse 9.2 with GNU gcc 3.3.

ƒAcqirisLinux-3.1a-gcc-3.4.tar.gz - compiled under SL 4.4 with GNU gcc 3.4.

ƒAcqirisLinux-3.1a-gcc-4.1.tar.gz - compiled under Debian etch with GNU gcc 4.1. The Kernel Driver source code is available for recompilation for users with other Linux systems.

The appropriate tar file should be copied to a local directory (e.g. your home directory) and then unpacked by using the following command

tar xzf AcqirisLinux-3.1a-gcc-X.x.tar.gz

The resulting directory AcqirisLinux contains an install script drv-installand a graphical Demo program demo/AcqirisDemo.

Before installing the driver you have to put the correct version of the Kernel mode driver into acqirisPCI.o. Type

cd AcqirisLinux/lib/modules

and either
cp acqrsPCI.o[.n] acqrsPCI.o	(Linux kernel 2.4)
or
cp acqrsPCI.ko[.n] acqrsPCI.ko	(Linux kernel 2.6)
where [.n] is the running version of the Linux kernel. This can be obtained by running the command
uname -r
