LabVIEW caught fatal signal 21.0 - Received SIGSEGV

Hi,
Please help with installation failure.
I downloaded the latest community edition lv2021community-linux.iso with the intent to install on Fedora 35.

Installing with this command from the Readme.txt 'sudo sh ./INSTALL' and 'y' to all questions. The installation completes with no warnings or errors.

Double clicking the LabVIEW icon a window pops up then disappears and then nothing.
From the commandline with command 'labview64' I receive this fatal error:
   LabVIEW caught fatal signal
   21.0 - Received SIGSEGV
   Reason: invalid permissions for mapped object
   Attempt to reference address: 0x5ab4cb0
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Can anyone provide any guidance?

It's trying to access memory not allocated to it.  I don't see your OS specifically supported by NI, so that may be the issue.

I did come across this link, but it dates from 2004, surely this would have been fixed by now?
Fedora is the bleeding edge version of Redhat 
But I'm running Btrfs and not ext4 so 'tunefs' is not going to work

Here are the LabVIEW vs Linux compatibility matrices.  If you don't see your OS listed for your Linux version, it's not supported.  Now that doesn't mean it's not going to work on it, but it does mean that NI doesn't have to support an unsupported OS - although I've never seen them use that excuse before, unless it was a true incompatibility.

 

Not sure what else to say, though.

Hi Bill,

 

Thankyou for your comments, I just thought I'd ask. Hoping that someone had seen this error previously and had a fix. I tried Labview on Windows and indeed it works but my preference is Fedora. So maybe one day it'll work.

I received this same error when I installed NIVISA on a Redhat Enterprise 9 machine.

Does anyone know when NI will support RHEL 9 ?

I know that RHEL 9 was released recently in May 2022, but I am stuck without VISA and Labview until it supports RHEL9.

I'm receiving this error on RHEL 8.8 which should be supported already. Any ideas? I have found this old page, but that should have been fixed with LV 7.1.1...

The problem went away for me once I installed the official release that supports RHEL 9.X.

Which release are you referring to? (I'm using LV2020.0.1)

 

This page doesn't mention RHEL 9.

This page DOES mention RHEL9. The version I installed to get everything to work is 2023.Q2.  Then you are going to ask, which files are you talking about?

Specifically, I installed..

  1. dnf install ni-rhel9-drivers-2023Q2.rpm
  2. dnf install ni-software-action-servicesx86_64 <OK> version 23.3.0.49272-0+f120.x86_64
  3. dnf install libni4882 <OK> version 22.8.0.49268-0+f116
  4. dnf install libvisa <OK> version 23.3.0.49278-0+f126
  5. dnf install ni-488.2 <OK> version 22.8.0.49268-0+f116
  6. dnf install ni-visa <OK> version 23.3.0.49277-0+f125
  7. dnf install libni4882-devel <OK> version 22.8.0.49268-0+f116
  8. dnf install ni-hwcfg-utility <OK> version 23.3.0.49711-0+f559
  9. dkms autoinstall
  10. reboot
