installation problems

Forrest Curo · Post by **Forrest Curo** » Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:24 pm

I'm running Wine 1.0.1, trying to get it to run various old programs:
fractint, civ II, and most important: Pagemaker 6.5 .

Even when I specify a graphics screen for the fractint, all I get on
it is a text cursor which won't curse.

Civ II installs nicely in the Wine "C" drive, but won't play
---------------------------------------------------------
and the Pagemaker bombs out with a message: "can't find PM65.rsl"

Is there a way to direct its attention to the proper directory, or a
directory where I can expect the program to find it?

'cd' to it.

As I remember PM65.rsl error was a regression around 1.0. Almost any
other version work. Try the latest wine. But before you go too far PM65
still has an open bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4836 which
prevents printing pages with a background image.

Yes, it's running & looks good, thanks!

I expect I'll be okay most of the time with images in the foreground,
at least for now, so this is good!
