From a complete Wine newbie: I use Wine to run apps related with GPS receivers. I have upgraded from 0.9.33 which came with Mandriva 2007.1 Spring to 0.9.46 from WineHQ. Net result, the Garmin Mapsource app now loads and runs perfectly, which it did not do before. But GPSMapEdit, which worked before, no longer does. Question: is it possible to have to versions of Wine installed, and use one or the other depending on which app I need to run ?

It detects the GPS properly but an attempt to download a map tells me that GPS doesn't react. Which version of Mapsource are you using ? With regards, Pavel Troller

For example if you compile from source you can run WINE from root of source directory and you can have multiple source directories. But I really encourage you to report this regression to http://bugs.winehq.org . By reporting this problem to developers you will help developers to fix this regression so in future versions of WINE both your programs will work. In fact, reports of regressions is very important because they allow WINE team to find errors made by developers in new implementations. Thank you.
