Enter the following command to extract the toolkit to the LabVIEW folder:
tar xf /mnt/cdrom/Linux/InternetToolkitLinux.tar
Enter the following command to navigate to the Example Finder directory:
cd /usr/local/natinst/share/example finder/1.0/Products/labview/x.y/exbins/english
where x.y is the version of LabVIEW to which you are installing the toolkit, for example 7.1.
Enter the following command to copy the toolkit example information into Example Finder.

Upgrading from Version 6.0
The LabVIEW Internet Toolkit version 6.0.1 contains the following changes from version 6.0:
The LabVIEW Internet Toolkit fixes several issues with memory leaks. Refer to the Bug Fixes list section of this document for more information about the memory leaks fixed.
Xerces 2.2 is replaced with Xerces 2.7.
The LabVIEW Internet Toolkit 6.0.1 does not support Sun Solaris.
The LabVIEW Internet Toolkit 6.0.1 does not support Windows NT.
Documentation Corrections
The documentation for the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit is not updated for 6.0.1. Therefore, the content in the LabVIEW Help and the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit User Guide does not reflect changes made in the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit 6.0.1.
Because Xerces 2.2 has been updated to 2.7, all references in the LabVIEW Help and the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit User Guide to xerces-c_2_2_0.dll should be xerces-c_2_7_0.dll.
Compatibility Libraries
The SMTP E-mail VIs from previous versions of the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit now are located on the Functions palette in the Full and Professional Development Systems of LabVIEW 7.0 and later. The filenames for these VIs changed slightly. The LabVIEW Internet Toolkit 6.0.1 includes compatibility libraries that automatically replace the LabVIEW 5.0 VIs with the LabVIEW 7.0 VIs when you open a VI that contains an earlier version of the SMTP E-mail VIs.
