Hi All,
I am running Debain|testing, and have a problem with BricsCAD.
I downloaded the rpm from http://www.bricscad.com,
and used alien to convert to a deb. All seemed ok, but a doubleclick
on the icon gave no result. With everything installed, I could read
the readme. The definitive statement appeared to be:
"This version will not run with WINE releases older than
september 2005"
I installed WINE ver 0.9.9, and when it complained about not
finding the C: directory I restored my old Win98 installation and
ran sol.exe. (I hear that this should not be necessary, so my
problems may have been due to a legacy configuration)
BricsCAD still failed. So I symlinked icad.dll.so into
/usr/lib/wine. Different failure - see below
I have since read some history on this at
http://www.kegel.com/wine/isv/#case-studies, at on winehq.
There seems to be no certainty on how to install and run recent
versions of BricsCAD ( newer than Sept 2005) - any advice will be
welcomed.
