Hi there!
I have been struggling with the same thing: what flavor of Linux to use for LabView.
I am now running LV 8.2.1, Visa and Daqmx Base under Suse 10.3. It all works. It was a bit of struggle though to figure out what was going on. Before I have always used LV under windows.
But, now I am putting together a little embedded system, and I would like to keep the OS down to 300 MB. Suse is way, way larger, but ofcourse I could strip it down and see where I get.
An other way is to use PCLinuxOS which has some cute little offsprings like Tinyme. I can install LabView Runtime, by unpacking the RPM's, and even run some compiled code. But VISA comes with an install script and when I run that it gives a "bad Interpreter" error. So, where to go from here. Did you guys come across the same thing in PClinuxOS, and how did you fix it? Any ideas?
Ach I can always strip suse, bring on the scandalous music!
Bye, and thanks,
Wytze
