Hello, I have tried to install Wine on my mac pro (leopard 10.5.6) but it did'nt work very well. When I wanted to run a windows applications, wine told me that I had to install Freetype 2.0.5 or later. I downloaded it from this website : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3157. Unfortunately I didn't install freetype properly. As a consequence, when I try to run an

Hello together, I am an absolute noob in R and therefore I need help urgently. I have received a script from my tutor with plot functions in it. However, I can' manage to adapt these plots. The hole script is as follows: setwd("E:/") ##### (1) Read data ### dat <- read.table("Komfort_Tatsaechliche_ID_Versuchsreihe_1.txt", header=TRUE, sep="\t",

I have Ubuntu 10.04 and just installed WINE 1.2 (because it's stable version). I am installing SketchUp 8, and the installer asks what destination folder to install to. It defaults to "C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\" and won't let me change to the Linux format of "home/user/Sketchup" that I think is correct. What do I do? The Wine FAQ states:

Hello all. I''m a noob at Ruby on Rails, only started learning a few days ago, but I''m loving it so far. I do have a few years experience with PHP, ASP, MySQL, etc., so I''m not *totally* clueless, though. :) Anyway, I''m having trouble with something that should be fairly trivial: I have an ''if'' statement that is supposed to print out a table

Hi, total Noob here. I have a rails server set up and running. I''m working my way through the "agile" book. I see that all of the examples show URL''s that explicitly call for port 3000. How would one go about creating a ruby app that is engaged with a "normal" URL with no port number in it? That is apparently the default port for webrick to start up on

How do I iterate through the pseudo-template list class containing wxMenuItem pointers. Am still a bit of a Ruby/wxRuby noob. Currently have this: pp mymenu.get_menu_items() which prints: #<SWIG::TYPE_p_wxMenuItemList:0x4634fa8> However when I try to do: mymenu.get_menu_items().each {|key| ...} it tells me there is no each method for this class (SWIG::TYPE_p_wxMenuItemList)

Hi, How can an xts object be subset using a date in a variable? E.g. in below, what is the right syntax for Q to get the same value as P? Obviously the syntax shown below doesnt work... V is an xts object. d = "2007-01-01" P <- V['2007-01-01/'] Q <- V['d/'] Thanks, J -- View this message in context:

Hello everyone, I''m trying to wire a combobox in a view to update the database. When I select something in the combobox and press ''update'' it goes through fine, except it places the default value for the field of the combobox. Any suggestions? Here''s the model: class TestResult < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :status_index has_one :test_type has_one

Folks, I have a rhtml page (page A) that links to another page (page B), and I want to pass some parameters from page A to page B. Here is the link code (on page A): <%= link_to ''Edit'', { :action => ''edit'', :id => permit }, :post => true %> If I want to pass a parameter "name" and a value "marcus", and pick it up on page

Wine changes dozens of files to run properly. Last week a user couldnt login anymore his Windows XP after doing that. Btw, as you say world of warcraft doesnt use registry and is well known to work on wine too by copying the whole directory. I suggest you to do that. Its just a few megabytes of disk space versus a possibly unusable windows xp. Kind regards, Sylvain Petreolle (aka Usurp)

I''ve never had much luck with sprintf... I can format a price descently enough with sprintf("$%0.2f",price) but for large values this only gives me $2500.00 I need the comma precision of $2,500.00... so how can I get that? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

okay so i recently changed to Linux mint after Ubuntu finally got to me to much. so my problem is i imediatley installed wine 1.5.1 and it works great (aside from a few issues with my proprietary graphics driver), But in the audio tab it says "selected driver: (none)" and there is no drop down box to choose any other, so basically i have no sound. I am a noob and a step by step guide

Hello, I just started with asterisk and I start to get it, but there is one thing that I don't seem to get: If I put an FXS-card into my asterisk server, then I can phone to the server with a normal phone, but can that phone also be reached by de server, so someone can caal back that phone? Or do I have to provide another connection? And if I connect two asterisk servers, can this be thone

Ok, Installed Ubuntu 8.10 clean, installed Wine, installed Office 2000 clean. What I need to do is open a database form in MSAccess on a server across the network. Access opens clean under XP, I click open, then click on my network button and get this error message: The file name, location, or format '::{208d2c60-3aea-1069-a2d7-08002b30309d}' is not valid. Type the file name in the

I have a mac, and I want to play this game, but someone said I need a program that runs XP to play it. They recommended this program, so I read it and it said it works for macs, but on the download page I have no clue which to select. Can someone tell me? BTW, I have a black macbook, not Leopard.

OK, I'm a noob to Wine. I've figured some stuff out with Wine and it sees everything I want it to see just fine. OK, I understand why you don't want Wine to see your windows install, but I put all my program installs on a separate partition. Now with this in mind can I just have Wine look at my Program Files and run my apps from there, or do I have to reinstall all the apps I want

Here's an equally dumb question: the wiki page you mention suggests installing bison and flex and a few other packages. But I don't see these packages anywhere on the Sourceforge MinGW page; do I get them from elsewhere, and then build them using MinGW's gcc?
