My son is taking some programming courses in school and it would be very helpful if he could run Visual Studio on his Mac. I own older VB5 and Visual Studio 6 (from my old PC days). [Embarassed] I cannot figure out how to install Wine on his Mac. Can someone please guide me (e.g. show me all the steps I need to follow to install Wine) so that I can then install VB5 and VS6? He's not

Did anybody succeed in installing CentOS on a MacBook Pro with nVidia chipset (2010 edition, http://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/produkte/macbook-13-2-4-ghz-mitte-2010-86/#produkt_detail)? When I boot with the current minimal install disk, Linux does simply see non disks. Regards, Peter -- Peter Hopfgartner R3 GIS http://www.r3-gis.com

I just recently purchased a Macbook Pro, Intel Core Duo 2GHz, 512 MB RAM. After looking through several articles in this forum I found the link to the R Mac Wiki. I am not that tech-savy but it appeared to me that this link, http://wiki.urbanek.info/index.cgi?IntelMacR describes how to install R on a Intel Mac Core Duo to utilise the two cores. I have also downloaded and installed the

After a long, and quite disheartening, series of hardware problems with my HP laptop I decided to try out a Mac (late 2009 Intel based 19.5 inch). In the months since January past I have discovered this to be no significant improvement and I have grown tired of the persistent wireless connectivity problems and am totally put off by the upgrade to OSX-10.6.4 which killed HD graphics using Open-Gl.

I have only just found out about Wine and I an trying to instal it on my MacBook Pro 13 running OX10.6. When I get to the download page and hit the download button I'm taken to a screen with numerous choices, but I can't find anything tht mentions OX10? Can anyone let me know where I'm going wrong please?

Hi, Some time ago I installed CentOS 7 on an older MacBook Pro for a client, since she couldn't install a more recent version of Mac OS X on it. The installation was a bit of an adventure, and I wrote a little article about it: https://blog.microlinux.fr/centos-7-macbook-pro/ I made this installation about a year ago, and the only thing I changed since then is replacing Xfce by GNOME. I

I just purchased an MBP, and having relied on Xen for virtualization on my servers for a long time now, I''d like to try setting up Mac OS as a domU on the laptop so that I can run other VMs under Xen to have real *nix environments at all times for non-Mac OS development. I''ve been looking around online, but haven''t seen anything particularly recent about running Mac OS

Hi...Frustrated!! I have been trying to install via the directions on http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Building I am trying to install with "minimum fuss" I am using a macbook pro with Jaguar 10.5.8, xcode 3.1 and quartz x11. Downloads and configures fine, but when I "make" It ends with the following x11drv_main.c: In function ?process_attach?: x11drv_main.c:527: error:

Hi, Recently i bought a macbook pro retina, and since i''ve been happily running Xen on my server machine for quite a few years now, i decided to install it to the macbook as well so that i can use it to try out new features before implementing them on the server. Before trying xen, i''ve gone through the motion of installing Ubuntu 13.10, which is now running smoothly.

Hi Folks, I did some other bug reports here a while back. I am back again because I updated my kernel from 3.19.1 to linux-4.8.10-gentoo (if you want I can test the mainline too). On boot all my GPU's turn on. If I turn them off via echo "OFF"> /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch I can't turn them back on. They also do not turn on if I try to change GPU's. Trying to

Hi, I am trying to read some files using read.csv and total size of those files are 3.99 GB. I am using MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM(snow leopard). I also tried to run a chunk from those files and altogether the size was 1.33 GB. But every time I was getting the following error R(1200) malloc: *** mmap(size=16777216) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in

Hi, Did anybody have success with running Syslinux on a MacBook Pro? I didn't manage, but I admittedly have no idea about UEFI. I've also heard that these machines deviate from the UEFI spec in some way... -- Thanks, Feri

Ok, I'm finally of a mindset to replace my now tired, aging Dell Inspiron 600m. I'm currently running Fedora Core on it, and am fairly happy with the software. Has anybody used CentOS on a Macbook Pro? What gotchas are there? (The first that comes to mind is the lack of a right mousebutton) Scouting on the Internet, I've seen that some people have trouble getting sound to work.

FYI, I just installed CentOS 5 beta with the SMP kernel in a VMWare fusion virtual machine on my 2.33 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. The installation was flawless. I installed from an NFS share on my network with the ISO images. The vm booted disc one and recognized my 802.11n wireless connection as eth0. The install took about 30 minutes. Everything worked fine... -Joe
