First efforts with wine leave me unimpressed |
Wine is not getting me drunk. I installed it, downloaded and installed WineSetupTK to assist with configuration. I then ran the setup program (through wine) for Thomas the Tank Engine: The Great Festival Adventure. Once that completed, I tried to run the program (by entering wine "C:\Program Files\Hasbro Interactive\The Great Festival Adventure\thomas.exe") and got a message box saying "CD check path not found." I searched the web for this message, and didn't find anything - it may be a message from the game, and not wine. I'll do some digging later.
You may remember the problems I had with the Folding@Home client. So, I decided to try to run the Windows version through wine. I downloaded it, and ran it through wine. It took about 2 minutes to lock my machine up. I'm not being too hard on wine for this stuff - an emulator isn't going to be 100%. I am concerned that I don't seem to be able to run any sort of Folding@Home client, and since it's not open-source, I can't try compiling on this computer.
I uninstalled the OpenOffice.org suite from the /root directory, and installed it in /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.2 (which was where it suggested). Now, it works for normal users. I still haven't been able to resolve my printing problems, but I sent a question today to the WBEL users list - they came through quickly for helping me resolve my mail importing issues.
