ie4linux will not install on lucid

[roman.novacek]

Hi, I have tried wineprefixcreate from google picasa adding to PATH
PATH=$PATH:/opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin
and it works.

Have you tried using PlayOnLinux? It's in the standard repositories and installable through the Ubuntu Software Centre.
If you click "Add" once installed, IE6&7 are in there.

Thank you so much BigTA78, Playonlinux seems wonderful, I now have a working "internet explorer" 6 and 7 installed on ubuntu 10.10 plus safari.
To be able to install both I needed to upgrade playonlinux to the latest version as the one from the depots was not able to install the two versions, I had only ie7 at first. As usual my website www.artimap.com does not works on ie6

open the file: /ies4linux-2.0.5/lib/install.sh with a text editor (gedit).
replace Wineprefixcreate with wineboot, save and close the file.
Then execute with: ./ies4linux
you will find ie6 under your-home/bin folder
run with: ./ie6

ln -s /usr/bin/winecfg wineprefixcreate
also works.

Great! the symbolic link to winecfg did the trick for me. Much appreciated!
