I'm under the assumption that I could use ies4linux to enable html in programs if I install the program with it. However, I have no idea how to do it. I have downloaded/installed ies4linux already (and installed ie6). I'd like to know since the program I am trying to get html in (RealOne Player) works fine, but when Gecko tries to load html it crashes and burns, and I was hoping this might make a difference.
Could someone show me an example of what I would have to do? ies4linux is installed to the directory /home/justin/ies4linux-2.99.0.1 if that helps any.
Thank you.

In any case, using a program with ies4linux requires that you set
WINEPREFIX to point to it. Something like:
WINEPREFIX="/home/myname/.ies4linux/ie6"; wine realinstaller.exe
And then run the program similarly, again with the WINEPREFIX setting.
I'll start out by asking why not use the Linux version of Real Player?I'm under the assumption that I could use ies4linux to enable html in

Well to answer your question, I honestly didn't like v.10.5 for linux (it wasn't close enough to the one I like in my opinion) and I didn't know about Helix. Despite it's lagginess and bugs, the windows-native copy of RealOne works well enough for me.
The other reason is I've been using linux (only the Ubuntu distro, and currently Kubuntu) for about a year now, and wine for a about half that time. I've got most of the commands I'll ever need to care about down, and this is just one of those things I wish to learn about more.
Thanks for the help.
