Depends on the type of driver you will be writing. If it is written using
VISA then it most likely will be easily portable, if you are writing a LV
wrapper for a driver DLL than it will be harder. Perhaps in that case you
could write a CIN wrapper calling instrument driver DLL, then slightly
modify that CIN and recompile it for Sun.
Ask in info-LabVIEW listserver (http://labview.pica.army.mil/), there seem
to be more people using LV for Linux, so they might have some direct
experience.
Hope it helps,
