[opensuse] 32bit development libraries
Hi, I have been trying to install ies4linux on this computer which has kde4.5 and Opensuse 11.3 installed. The installation fails because the rpm packages of wine installed via yast don't have wineprefixcreate included in the package. I tried to find that package using package search, but no joy. I went to yast and first tried to downgrade to older packages of wine, and I get the same result when I then try to install ies4linux. Still don't have wineprefixcreate included. I then deleted the yast wine packages and downloaded the latest wine source package from sourceforge. When I try to install it, it fails in ./configure, because I need to have the 32bit development libraries installed. I have looked in yast to see if there was a pattern for the kde development 32bit, and there is none. I already have the packages I need to make and build from source, but it apparently isn't enough. Would anyone be able to direct me as to which packages I need to install?

If I remember correctly, installation of ies4linux created WINPREFIX variable. ies4linux did not use installed wine, but created its own subtree and set WINPREFIX pointing to its root (I still have working version of ies4linux on 32-bit 11.0, WINPREFIX is set there to $HOME/.ies4linux/ie6). I could not install ies4linux on later versions of oS and also read some bad references to this tool (from security point of view, can't remember what exactly), so I'm not using it anymore.

Ouch. I am afraid this was all wasted effort due to bad documentation. ies4linux is old and will not work with current wine. wineprefixcreate was remvoed during the 1.2 development phase and is not required anymore. You can try patching it out of the ies4linux script. But you should probably please do: Install a SUSE wine rpm. run as user: winetricks ie6 or winetricks ie7 depending on which one you want. Follow the dialogs. Then run iexplore.exe from ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/ ie6 worked with the current wine for me right now. ie7 crashes on start :/ Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had better luck. I am running wine-1.3.6-1.1.i586 on openSUSE 11.2 and IE7 works. Perhaps a bit of ICON overlap on the tool bar. But generally working. I would be really happy if I could run MS Java (not anyone elses...) in this. Then perhaps I could use our company's brain dead work report software (Maconomy - so clueless that even their initial web page requires flash to see anything...). It is the only real reason I have windows installed in a virtual machine... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
