Hi, I have tryed to get a windows program working under linux. I am using codeweavers wine preview 5 it says in the error message that it needs xmessage og that most distributions have it I am using linux mandrake 8.1 og could not find it on my harddisk and from what I can se in http://rpmfind.net/ it should follow XFree86 or X11. I am using xfree86 4.** do I also need the part for X11? or how do I find it? would it be possible to make the program working under wine or should I rather wait for an update more? Wine come with this error message [steen@localhost chessbo]$ wine chessbo.exe Warning: The Wine launcher is unable to find xmessage. This launcher script relies heavily on finding this tool, and without it, it will behave poorly. Most Linux distributions have one or the other of these tools. We strongly recommend that you use your distribution's software methods to locate xmessage.
