problems installing ies4linux in ubuntu 8.10

[deveraux]

new to ubuntu,

I tried installing ies4linux and got error in red when in terminal

indicating that i don't have the latest version of wine..I have the latest?

version for ubuntu 8.10 installed..so it doesn't make sense that the wine

version i have is too old. i tried copy and pasting from terminal and saved

screenshot, but don't know how to put it into this request.

if you could help i would greatly appreciate it

problem figured out. i unistalled both cabextract and wine in synaptic manager and then reinstalled. with the use of http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ies4linux, help in finishing the ies4linux install the ie explorer icon finally showed up on my desktop. i hope it will work ok now.

thanks,
Deveraux

How serendipitous to have the solution to my problem posted only 1 hour ago, and yet already findable.

The error I got following the instructions on the ies4linux website was

Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.14.4/gtk/gtktextview.c:3425:gtk_text_view_validate_onscreen : assertion failed: (text_view->onscreen_validated)

I had just installed wine and cabextract 30 seconds earlier from repositories, but doing the uninstall and then following the psychocats instructions did the trick. Who knows how much of that was necessary, but now it works (on Intrepid 64 bit).

I got this error message during the installation:

Please check your DNS setting(/etc/resolv.conf)

I remove a server from resolv.conf, which is not accessable in my local network, then run ies4linux without modify .py file, install IE successfully.

If the above did not help you (like it did not help me, sorry, don't know why) I would like to refere to the following report in general
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1003201
and the command
./ies4linux --no-gui
in particulare. That solved the problem for me.

[noothe]

./ies4linux --no-gui

was the solution for me as well.

the graphical installer wouldn't work on my samsung notebook with xubuntu 8.10

Wow!
got it working.. I followed this particular comment:
http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/...#comment-10037

and downloaded SCR56EN.CAB from http://www.filewatcher.com/m/scr56en...00365.0.0.html

put this file in

~/.ies4linux/downloads/ie6/EN-US/

then run the setup again

./ies4linux --no-gui

works for me!
