I have successfully installed wine-20030911 on an HP 220 desktop running mdk 9.1.3 exclusively (no Windows). Notepad works fine. However, I have been unable to install either the Konica PCPS (photo editor) from floppy, or the Konica Pictureshow from CD. The files have transferred successfully from the floppy to the /mnt/windows/ directory but when I type setup.exe in a terminal, the installation halts with the message that there is "no server window available." It does this regardless of which terminal (Konsole, X, or Konqueror) is used. I tried to configuring the program with winemaker. However, there the process ended with the message that it could not find the windefs.h (Windows headers) file even though it was clearly in the path. Copying this file to a more immediate location (not so far down the path) didn't help. I suspect that HPCompaq has modified mdk9.1 (which is why I specified that it is identified as 9.1.3) for some purpose. Does the most recent version of Wine address the problem? Are the two messages connected? Thanks Monica Smith

"no server window available" & "cannot find windefs.h"
I don't think this has anything to do with the shell window in linux, but in windows (The app still thinks it's running in windows if you run it with wine); the only suggestion I can make is to try the new wine-20031016 rpm. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&release_id=192009
