LabView 2012 runtime engine install problem

[Randy_Bryant]

I built my application using the 2012 Application builder.  I then installed the 2012 runtime engine.

Why is it not installed in a standard location?  I have to tell my users to put the /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW_2012/AppLibs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH - that is a pain.

Also once I do that, the application is looking for liblvrt.so.12.0 and that is not there, I have to make a symbolic link.

Then I am missing libstdc++.so.6, why is that?

In addition to creating an application build specification, you also need to create an installer build specification. When you user runs the installer it will automatically put everything where it belongs.

Will it fix the reference to the RT .so.12.0 to be 12.0.0?

Will it put it in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib?

Will it install the correct lbistdc++?

Creating an installer will put everything that the runtime engine needs where it belongs.

Did you notice I am on Linux?

There does not seem to be an Installer builder on Linux?

I saw that you were working with Linux but I have been told that the deployment process is the same regardless of platform. What options do you have under the Build Specification New submenu?

Application

Packed Library

Shared Library

Source Distribution

Zip File

Ok, I did a bit of Googling on "LabVIEW runtime engine linux" and found that you can apparently download the runtime engine as an RPM file. Install that and you have the runtime engine where it is supposed to be.

Read my first post.

I already did that.

That is where my questions come from.

It doesn't install it correctly.

Wrong .so name, non-standard location...

Did you ever get an answer to this?

I am trying to load the 2012 runtime engine on a couple of machines to run a build.

I have seen posts about including it with the application build, but no instructions on how to do that.

when the download starts, it asks for a file name, is there a file name that it requires?
