out of memory problem lv71/opensuse10.2

[mweiss38]

Hello,

I am trying to use labview 7.1 for linux on
opensuse 10.2 (out of the box system, latest ATI fglrx graphics drivers, latest xorg updates).
I also have nikal 1.5 and NI-488.2-2.5 installed. When starting labview, the splash screen appears, and the application starts to eat memory until aborting due to an out of memory situation (realloc(): invalid next size).
Is this a known problem ?
How can I debug this further ?

Thanks for any hints,

Markus

PS: I can post further information (strace) if necessary

Hello Markus,

there are two things you can try:

1. Run the command mentioned in the last post of the following forum thread:

https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Labview-doesn-t-work-with-linux-kernel-2-6/m-p/139560?requireLogin=...

If that doesn't help:

2. Download the LabView 7.1.1 path from here:

Please write again if the problem is solved or if you need any further help.

Regards,
Johannes

Hello,

and thanks for your reply.
I can confirm that my problem disappears
either by disabling dir_index in the filesystem,
or by upgrading to labview 7.1.1
It seems, that suse switched to ext3 (with dir_index enabled) as default filesystem starting from opensuse 10.2. I have one opensuse 10.2 installation on reiserfs,
and there the problem doesn't exist.

Thanks, again,

Markus
