Help! Labview 6i and Linux

I'm using a Debian distribution of Linux (kernel 2.2.17-ide), I've
installed Labview 6i but it doesn't work: when I run Labview it returns
this message :

error in loading shared libraries libLVMesaGL.so.3: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory.

The file "libLVMesaGL.so.3 " is yet present in some directories.

How can I solve this proplem ?

Thanks.

You probably need to set the environment to point to the specific instance
check the Labview manual it probably tells you the environment variable to
use.
This is just my guess based on UNIX experience

Try to read files regarding Mesa software from Silicon Graphics. This 3D OpenGL library was modified a little by NI and linked to labview and should be included in source and binary to distribution CD.

I didn't have any troubles with it (Slackware and Mandrake
distributions). Your problem is in loading wrong version of Mesa shared
library.
The answer i
s in discovering which library LabVIEW tries to load during
run-time. Run labview under debugger or tracer to catch this wrong call.

To solve, try to modify ..etc/ldso.conf file moving the directory with
Mesa shared library closer to the top of file and run ldconfig of
course. Debian differences are your's.

May be this helps a little
