Is there a way to get Virtual PC to connect the VM's CD-ROM drive to a .iso file? I really don't want to burn these CDs just for a virtual machine. I know this can be done in VMWare, but I don't see the option in Virtual PC... :headbang: EDIT: I figured it out. What a silly way to do that...

VMWare or VirtualPC? If VMWare, do you have the VMWare Tools installed?

This looks like an OSMesa issue. Which video card do you have? Here's a possible workaround (run these commands as root or use sudo): #cd /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-8.2#cp linux/libOSMesa.so.4.0 patchlib/libOSMesa.so.4 To verify that this worked correctly, you can do this: #ldd labview linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libOSMesa.so.4 => /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-8.2/patchlib/libOSMesa.so.4 (0x40018000) libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x40180000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x401e7000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x402e0000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40308000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x4030d000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x4031f000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x403dd000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40403000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x4040b000) libXxf86vm.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 (0x4052a000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) Make sure that the libOSMesa line shows that path. Then try running LabVIEW again. Let me know if this does or does not help. If it does, be sure to let me know which video card you have (and if you've installed any specific driver for it) so we can try to test it next time.

I need more information. Add this to your .labviewrc file (in your home directory): labview.DPrintfLogging: True Then launch LabVIEW and get it to crash again. Then I want you to attach two log files from your /tmp directory. One will be named "LabVIEW_Failure_Log.username.txt" and the other will be "labview_8.2_username_cur.txt". Attach both of those.

Wow, I'm sorry. I thought I was subscribed to this post, but I guess not. I'll take a look at the strace output and see if I can determine the cause.

Bryan: Try this. From a terminal, run this command: strace labview > ~/strace.out 2>&1 Then do whatever it is that crashes LabVIEW and attach the strace.out file to this forum. I'll take a look at it.
