Running LabVIEW 7.1 on Fedora 2 & 3

Recommended Posts

We just finished installing LabVIEW 7.1 on Fedora 2 and 3 and came across an interesting issue that would allow us to install LabVIEW but not run it (the splash window would open, then pause, freeze and close).

Turns out that Fedora 2+ uses a filesystem convention that doesn't have "." and ".." as the first two directories. Apparently LabVIEW depends on this.

To get LabVIEW to run on Fedora 2+ log in as "root" and execute the following code in your shell for all EXT3 partitions:

tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/(yourPartition)

I'm running Fedora 2 installed on a USB hard drive with (2) EXT3 formatted partitions, so mine was:

tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/sda1tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/sda2

You should be able to immediately run LabVIEW afterwards.
