linux labview can't open dll

[Steve_Steiner]

When I try to open a Labview driver for a California Instruments power supply in Labview for Linux, a dialog box appears and looks to be searching for a dll. I browse to the dll, but but the dialog box just re-appears like it did not find it. If I cancel, the vi comes up with errors saying it can't find a function in the dll. I do a nm on the dll and it shows there are no symbols in the dll. Am I not able to use this dll under Linux? Is there a way around this? Any help would be great.

No, compiled objects like DLLs, EXEs are OS specific. You could ask the vendor if they have a Unix/Linux shared library, ask for the source code so it could be recompiled, or use a LabVIEW driver. Most power supplies have fairly simple drivers and there is a LabVIEW driver for the L Series that you might want to use as a template.
