I have converted my parent's computer to Linux (Fedora Core 3) and have down-loaed Crossover and tried to get three applications working. TurboTax 2004 -> Works great Peachtree-> Still broken and no error output (this is lower priority) FreeCell -> Getting error below Of all the applications I need (for political reasons:>) Freecell is the most critical. I was NOT expecting this to be an issue but it is turning out to be a real PITA. Here is the modifications I have made.. It must be something stupid and I was hoping either someone could fix the google link / hit on this exact topic or that someone could RSVP with what I am doing wrong. ***************************** Error: "/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine" --check --cx-app "C:////Windows////freecell.EXE" Could not load 'CARDS.DLL' required by 'FREECELL', error=21 http://groups.google.com/groups?safe=images&ie=UTF-8&as_umsgid=% 3C87vfirep59.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%3E&lr=&hl=en #less /home/mom/.cxoffice/dotwine/config Application appends for FreeCell to work [AppDefaults\\freecell.exe\\Version] "Desktop" = "800x600" "Managed" = "N" [AppDefaults\\freecell.exe\\DllOverrides] "cards" = "native" ******************************** I have also copied the "cards.dll" into the /windows directory from /windows/system (which has solved some app stupidity in the past). -- Thanks, Jeremey Wise jeremey.wise@agilysys.com All opinions or information expressed here are personal in nature and do not reflect the official position of Agilysys Inc.
Have you tried using Wine? It should work on there (as reported by http://appdb.winehq.org) Hiji --- Jeremey Wise <Jeremey.Wise@agilysys.com> wrote:> I have converted my parent's computer to Linux > (Fedora Core 3) and have > down-loaed Crossover and tried to get three > applications working. > > TurboTax 2004 -> Works great > Peachtree-> Still broken and no error output (this > is lower priority) > FreeCell -> Getting error below > > Of all the applications I need (for political > reasons:>) Freecell is the > most critical.

For some strange reason, freecell does not work for me either. Cannot load the cards.dll. The solitaire, however, using the same DLL, works just fine! However, there is an alternative: Ace_freecell. Would probably not be so terrible to get the sources and put in at least the ability to display and enter the game number and maybe the statistics. Otherwize, this one runs better than the windows one.

Cannot load the > cards.dll.FreeCell from Win2k runs fine here, with cards.dll from the same installation. FreeCell from Win98 has the "cannot load cards.dll" error 21. This is due to a clash between 16 and 32 bitness, Wine provides a 32 bit cards.dll and that prevents loading a native 16 bits dll with the same name. If you move the cards.dll.so out of the way, FreeCell from Win98 will be able to use the native 16 bits dll. Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes@xs4all.nl
