Labview 7.1 launch error in Ubuntu linux

[VincentZhu]

I just installed a Labview 7.1 Pro. in Ubuntu desktop linux 6.0.6.1. And it seems that everything was installed. But whenever I try to lauch the program, it says "Failed to execute child process labview(No such file or directory.)".

So i imagined that maybe i forgot to install some subprograms, so i just installed it again. However,in the Ubuntu terminal, it said: all labview components were installed or can't be installed due to comfilicts. So i think i have installed all the components. Could some one give some helps. This problem is really annoying!


Thanks! Vincent.

Hi Vincent,

I hope you are doing well today! Unfortunately, Ubuntu is not one of the supported Linux distributions. So, there is not much documentation available for this. However, I was able to find the following forums post's which might be helpful.
Labview 8 installation on Ubuntu, libdb.so.2
Re: Labvie 7.1 on Ubuntu (or debian)?
Complete newbie: Linux, and writing drivers...

I hope this helps.

Although I still don't know where the problem is, fortuenately I can lauch the software now. I just transfer all the .rpm files to .deb by using $ sudo alien file_name.rpm. After all .deb files installed, i found an excutable file named labiew under /usr/local/lv71. But one funny thing is i still can't laucn it from the start menu. Anyway i can use it now and thank you for your reply.
