labview: error while loading shared libraries: libLVMesaGL.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I looked in the website and it told me about the labview rt module. According to the install all went well except the nigpib didnt like the new kernel

Go to the '/usr/local/lv60/linux/' directory. There you will find the
libLVMesaGL.so.3 shared library and a nice README.Mesa text file. All
it's going to tell you is that you should copy or soft link the library
to the /usr/local/lib or /lib (my choice) directory. Once you do that it
should stop complaining.

Ensure that you have root privileges when installing LabVIEW. If you still get this error you will have to copy the libLVMesaGL.so.3 shared library to the /usr/local/lib directory. While logged in as root, ensure that /usr/local/lib is listed in the /etc/ld.so.conf file. You will now need to run "ldconfig" which will find all shared libraries on your computer.
