There are quite a few threads here and on the discussion fora about this. It's possible but depending on your Linux distribution and the version of it, it can be a more or less seamless experience, a bumpy road or a complete disaster. It's definitely not an exercise that is suited to get familiar with software installation in Linux. Some Linux basics are absolutely required, as it's not a point an click installer at all. (Although the installation on Windows can sometimes have it's difficulties too, eventhough that is supposed to be a point and click installer.)

If you are just wanting to install LabVIEW and no drivers, then you an run the INSTALL script (as root) that is shipped on the LabVIEW installation media. You can refer to the README.txt file for any other instructions.

Beyond that, I totally agree with rolfk.
