I am very new to Linux, and want to install my linux version of Labview8. I can see the files on the CD, but when I click on the install, nothing happens. I am running Mandriva 2006. A point in the general direction will help.
Copy the files from the CD to a temporary location on your
hard drive. (for example you could copy the files to a directory named
labview in your home directory)
Open the console
cd ~/labview (change directories to location where you copied the labview files
su (switches you to the root user so that you can install software)
./INSTALL
Answer the questions
remove the temporary directory on your hard drive.
That should be all you need to do to install LabVIEW. Be sure to post if you have any problems.
