LaVIEW cannot start on CentOS 6.3

[lsh_Rango]

Hi:

I am now using CentOS 6.3 i386 version, and try to install LabVIEW on it. Previously LabVIEW 12.1 Pro works well on my OpenSUSE 12.1, but now I have to transfer to CentOS due to some reasons.

I followed the installation instructions to run INSTALL script, and it is OK with the installation process. Then after reboot, I tried to run LabVIEW directly, but nothing happens, that is, clicking the LabVIEW icon does not produce any action. Then I tried to run "labview" with terminal command, it reports error "core dumped".

It is really strange, as CVI is working on CentOS, but LabVIEW does not. Previously I had tried LabVIEW 2012 with Red Hat 5.0, but it reports the same error "core dumped".

There is an article with this link: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22110 which introduces the concept of 8k stack kernel siz. I am not sure whether it is necessary to update the kernel size from the default 4k stack size to 8k if I want to use LabVIEW under CentOS.

Could you provide any ideas for this issue?

Officially it's not supported. These two documents provide some information on the supported Linux distributions.

NI LabVIEW Operating System Support: http://www.ni.com/labview/os-support/

This is not to say that it's impossible to get it working, but you'll have to look to the community for tips. It definitely is recommended that you stick with these versions!

Hi Craig:

Thanks for your reply!

I have read all the specifications of LabVIEW for Linux, and right now I've got what distrubitions are officially supported and the specifc system parameters needed, but I still cannot solve the problems.

Here I just want to know why the phenomenon I mentioned above would happen, and what can I do to validate LabVIEW on CentOS. As I konw, there are many companies, insitutes and individuals now using CentOS as the development OS, why not provide official support for CentoS?

So could you provide some other suggestions or some workarounds, or precise solutions?

Thanks!
