Installing a program with ies4linux

[rockinup1231]

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.

I'll start out by asking why not use the Linux version of Real Player?
They are a bit old, but still work for me on Fedora 7 & 8:

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.

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.
