Whenever I try to execute any of the NI-VXI utilities, I receive this
message:
ld.so.1: ./vxiinit: fatal: libnivxi.so.1: can’t open
file: errno=2
Killed.
What does this error message mean?
This usually means that the application could not load the NI-VXI
library. Check the environment variables
NIVXIPATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. LD_LIBRARY_PATH should include the directory
where you installed the PCI-MXI-2 driver.
NIVXIPATH should be set
only to the directory where you installed the PCI-MXI-2 driver.
Whenever I try to execute any of the NI-VXI utilities, I receive a
message that it could not find a particular file even though the file
does exist. What is wrong?
When a NI-VXI utility cannot find a file that it needs, it usually means
that one of the environment variables is set incorrectly. Check the
environment variables
NIVXIPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH should include the directory where you installed the
PCI-MXI-2 driver.
NIVXIPATH should be set only to the directory
where you installed the PCI-MXI-2 driver.
You can also receive this error message if you do not have full
permissions to some of the NI-VXI files and directories. Users who will
be using NI-VXI should have full permissions to the
tbl and examples
directories. They should also have read/write permissions for all the
files contained in those directories.
Whenever I try to run
resman without the MXI-2 cable plugged into
my PCI-MXI-2, it hangs. This also happens if I have the wrong end
of my cable plugged into the PCI-MXI-2. Why?
The PCI-MXI-2 uses the MXI-2 cable to find out if it is the MXIbus
System Controller. If the correct end of the cable is not securely
attached to the PCI-MXI-2,
resman and other NI-VXI applications can
hang. The MXI-2 cable has a label indicating which end should be
plugged into the system controller. If you need to run
resman with the
MXI-2 cable unattached, you can force the PCI-MXI-2 to be system
controller by setting the MXI System Controller field to yes in
vxiedit.
