Labview Runtime Engine 2011 for Ubuntu does not work

Hi all, I have a problem, I have not been able to install the plugin Labview Runtime Engine 2011 for Ubuntu, this is originally for Suse, Redhat. I tried to install with alien for converting .rpm to .deb,

sudo alien ~/labview-2011-rte-11.0.0-1.i386.rpm

so far no problems, then i installed the .deb with the comand sudo dpkg -i labview-2011-rte-11.0.0-1.i386.deb

but i had no luck, after that i loaded a embedded page thorugh web publishing tool, but it said: Not installed the plugin. I do not what to do, if somebody can help me, i would appreciate it.

Thanks

In the post script in the RPM, the plugin is copied to a bunch of different locations if they can be found. I'm not sure if alien is alloing those scripts to be run or not. The error message if a location cannot be found is the following:

An error occurred trying to install the LabVIEW web browser plugin.

If you have Netscape 6, Mozilla, or Firefox installed in a

non-standard location, copy /usr/local/lib/LabVIEW-2011/LV2011NPlugin.so to its

'plugins' subfolder.

It tries to copy it into a bunch or old plugin folders if they exist as well as to the /usr/lib/browser-plugins folder that is the new default location for plugins. Try manually copying the file there and see what happens.

Make sure you are running firefox in 32-bit mode since the plugin is 32-bit only. And then make sure that you have all of the 32-bit compatibility libraries installed that you can find (x11, libstdc++, and such). Run ldd on the liblvrt.so and make sure everything can be found.

apparently the libraries what you told me there are.

I dont know if it is important but i had to create the "plugins folder" in the next locations because i could not find it, The locations where i created these were:

Root\usr\lib\firefox\plugins

Root\usr\lib\firefox\plugin

home\.mozilla\plugins

home\.mozilla\plugin

in all of these i put the file LV2011NPlugin.so.

Excuse me again, but i am very worry about it cause  this is part of my work of degree, i really appreciate your help Randy.

Do you have any other plugins installed in Firefox? The normal location now is /usr/lib/browser-plugins. Does this directory exist for you and is there anything in it (like maybe flash)?
