install_labview_8.0_on_linux_gnu_debian_3.1
- install package alien
- install KDE and/or GNOME (LabVIEW says it has desktop integration with this two)
- copy the LabVIEW installation CD on the hard disk (i.e. /root/labview)
- issue
bash INSTALL
from the dir where the disc has been copied. - answer to the installer questions
- For some reasons something went wrong and some packages were not installed: manually install, if not present packages
nicvirte-5.0.1-3.i386.rpm
andnivisa-3.4.0-f0.i386.rpm
. You do this launching:
alien -t nicvirte-5.0.1-3.i386.rpm
alien -t nivisa-3.4.0-f0.i386.rpm
- now you should manually install the outputted tgz files:
- copy them to /
tar zxf <namefile>.tgz
from /.
- if you have problems with the serial port (and VISA) follow instruction on Forums National Instruments
- To answer your question, looks like you don't have VISA configured properly. Try going to /usr/local/vxipnp/linux/NIvisa/ to run 'visaconf' and 'NIvisaic' for configuration and intereaction, respectively. You may have to do this as root. When done, the VISA resource name should magically appear in the control pull-down of your app. If you don't see it in the control, then it usually means that visaconf hasn't been run properly.
- It may happen that the system complains about some missing libraries: then do the following: place the following in your
/etc/ld.so.conf
:
/usr/local/vxipnp/linux/lib
/usr/local/cvirte/lib
.
Then runldconfig
as root. This will configure the run-time bindings to the shared libraries. Look at the man page for details.
