I hate to resurrect a dead thread, but this is the first Google result for this and the solution to this problem has nothing to do with glibc. The problem has to do with a mistaken assumption that NI made with the listing of directories ("." and ".." being first), you can fix the problem by clearing the directory index option on your filesystem: sudo tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/partition_device (where "partition_device" is usually sda1"). This solution is described in the NI document: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A2D53C8E0D88380B86256EBD005B31D2 I hope this helps people that are looking to use LabVIEW 7.1 on newer systems, it's also important to note that you need to set a couple environment variables to keep LabVIEW from crashing: export SAL_SYNCHRONIZE=1export MESA_BACK_BUFFER=Pixmap
