wine users - Oct 2011 - Bruker Topspin 3.1

Hello everybody!

Started to install wine today and I have to say - Great work. Nevertheless
I ran into some problems while trying to install Bruker Topspin 3.1 (Scientific
NMR Analysis Tool). But unfortunately I cannot install it. I have seen that
there is a topic about an old Topspin version but it didn't help me. As I am
starting to get familiar with wine the chance is great that the problem might be
minor and easy to fix.

I am running wine 1.3.31 under Arch Linux.

When trying to install the software the following error occurs:


Code:

Installation program failed with status 1
Removing temp. files in "Z:\home\markus\install-topspin-3.1.tmp~\"




My first assumption was that it could be connected to environment variables not
set correctly but as I am completely new to this subject I am a little bit lost
what to do now.

I know that the software is available for Linux but is only developed for
Red Hat Linux and it seems not to be that simple to get it working on Arch
Linux.

I am thankful for ideas!

Thank you!

Do what it says: set the environment variable. If you defined a hostname
when you installed Linux, try this:

export COMPUTERNAME="$HOSTNAME"

If the command "echo $HOME" shows nothing, replace $HOSTNAME with the
name of your computer in the export command.

If that solves the problem, you can make it permanent by adding the
export statement to $HOME/.bash_profile as the last line and activate it
by logging out and logging in again.

Thanks Martin!

That really helped and solved this issue.

Nevertheless I was not able to install this software correctly.

I will post the new problems tomorrow as it is now 3:00 am and I need sleep :)

Maybe some of them are for bugzilla (perl.exe error) but for today that's it


Thanks Martin for helping

Good night!
