call library function

[gizero]

Hello,
I'm calling Linux libc settimeofday() function from a Labview 6.1 VI through a call library function node. Something is going wrong and the VI get stuck just after the call (sometime for a few seconds, sometime indefinitely).
The critical instruction is settimeofday() itself. Let me point out I'm doing this because I need to save some memory on the system and calling system exec is not a suitable solution (even if it is a working one!!!)

I'm using:
* Linux glibc 2.3.6
* Labview 6.1 Linux runtime

Is there any known problem in calling this kind of function this way? I'm completely new to Labview, so please be patient if I'm not giving any required detail.

TIA

Andrea

Hi Gizero,

I beg you pardon I'm not a linux expert so probably what I'm going to say sounds obvious to you.
Nontheless it worth a try.

These two documents should be useful when troubleshooting problems like the one you're facing.
