3. To change the current directory to the mounted CD-ROM, type the
following command:
cd /mnt/cdrom.
4. To run the installation script, type the following command:
./INSTALL.
The INSTALL script prompts you to enter the directory where you want
to install LabVIEW (typically /usr/local or /opt). The script uses
RPM to install the RedHat package on RedHat Linux 5.0 or later
systems, or it extracts the .tar.gz archives on other systems.
Note If your system does not have the required glibc2 libraries installed, you have the
option to install LabVIEW 4.1.1 instead. The file Glibc2-HOWTO on the CD gives
detailed instructions on how to obtain and install glibc2.
You also can install the files by hand, using either RPM or glint on RedHat
systems, or tar/gunzip on other systems. To install LabVIEW versions
4.1.1 and 5.1 simultaneously, use the --force rpm option.
Note Refer to the README file on the CD for additional installation instructions.
