Problem distributing LabVIEW Linux Application

I have....#1 LabVIEW 6.1 for Linux (full development system), #2 Labview linux application builder

I created application using "build application or shared library option".


Additional info:
# I do have LabVIEW run-Time Engine for Linux installed
# I do have application builder installed from other CD.
# It's Redhat Linux 8.0
# My application's folder s different from where Run-Time engine is installed.


# PROBLEM 1
But I can't even run it on even the SAME computer.
(I tried double clicliking AND running it (by name) thru xterm)

# PROBLEM 2
#When I want to distribute it for customer, how do I do it?

I don't believe this should be an issue

I just made simple executable with LV 6i for Linux. I ran ldd on the it
and it shows that it's linked to:
libdl.so
libpthread.so
libc.so
ld-linux.so

Some of these libraries may be different for LV 6.1 but what you're really
looking for is someth
ing like "library not found". That would be a sign
that your run-time engine installation got fouled up, the libraries
haven't been placed in the right directories, or ldconfig needs to be run.

One thing I hate about the LV executable in Linux is that the controls
always come out messed up. Mine lose their 3D appearance allong with
most of their borders. Luckily I don't have any clients that need Linux
apps yet.

I'm not sure but since you're using Redhat I'll bet there's some RPM based
installation builder that you can use. I use Slackware so I would
probably distribute my applications in the tgz or tar.gz formats.
Perhaps there's some sort of GPL installation builder out there...?

I'll be visiting relatives for most of this week but keep the group
updated on your progress.
