Multiple Wine Installer now Available for Ubuntu !!!

Ok.

Now I have a little problem.

I created in ~/bin the symbolic link using the command in your tutorial:

sudo ln -s '$home/wine-0.9.58/usr/bin/wine-0.9.58'

but when I launch wine-0.9.58 the message is "command not found"...

Please open nautilus to ensure that there is a symlink in the /usr/bin.
It is not ~/bin but /usr/bin

There is not any symlink in /usr/bin...

I removed the symlink in ~/bin

I tried to launch IEs4Linux but it failed. I went in the folder where the application launcher was via the terminal, and being there I wrote in the command line:

# export wine=/home/chris/wine-0.9.58/usr/bin/wine
# ./ies4linux

It suddenly appears the message that wine wasn't installed... Why?

Since my ~/bin didn't let the symlink work even if the folder is in $PATH, I opted to put the symlink into /usr/bin

I tested it writing in the command line "wine-0.9.58" and it ran.
Anyway, IEs4Linux keep not to install because it sees that no wine is installed...

I followed your steps but it didn't install.
Maybe it does not work exporting "wine"?

Besides... I don't have any other wine installed.

# export wine=/home/chris/wine-0.9.58/usr/bin/wine

Try to put symlink of /home/chris/wine-0.9.58/usr/bin/wine into /usr/bin.
This time you do not need to do export wine=/home/chris/wine-0.9.58/usr/bin/wine.

Open terminal and try wine, make sure it works. And then tray again IEs4linux.

Doing as you pointed to, the wine command runs but it says "preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range ..."

This is the problem that you discuss in the first page of this thread. I solved it with Ubuntu 8.10 related instructions in the page linked to.

Now the installer runs.
Thanks...

I am glad it finally run. Remember to remove the symlink after that, and change the launcher from wine to /us/bin/wine-0.9.58 or whatever you have.

I'm a bit confused.
The launcher, for example, of ie6 is a shell script.
Do you mean that in the default application to open with I need to add wine-0.9.58?

By the way, I finally tried to install IEs4Linux under the 1.1.17 version and it worked only in the following way:

- I modified the kommander.sh under ui/kommander in order to strip all incorrect konsole options such as -T, --nomenubar, and so on. I let only --icon and -e options

- To avoid GTK installation bug I ran the program with --no-gui option.

- To make the installer finish the work, I had to create a symlink also for wineprefixcreate

Well, perhaps I get it...
In every shell script launcher in /home/bin/chris there are lines to launch wine.

I'll try to modify them.
