application. If I try to open the application and pass it the command "/PAR script.txt", it does not work: $ open WinBUGS.exe '/PAR script.txt' The file /PAR script.txt does not exist. It parses '/PAR script.txt' as a file name rather than an argument. I tried the following variation but it results in the same error: $ open -a WinBUGS14 '/PAR script.txt' The file /PAR script.txt does not exist. When I try passing a simpler argument, just a file name, I see that it's interpreted as a separate file to be opened: $ open -a WinBUGS14 'script.txt' This usually results in both applications opening separately -- it opens WinBUGS14.exe, and then opens script.txt in a separate notepad or editor window, suggesting that this is not passed as an argument to the application. In summary: I can run the application I am interested in using 'open' under either CrossOver or Darwine, but not through the CrossOver 'wine' command directly. However, I cannot pass it any arguments. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, --Yarden =3D=3D P.S. Here are some other variations I've tried on the above, but none worked: I also tried using the wine command that comes with CrossOver directly, but it results in these errors: $ pwd $ /Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin $ ./wine --cx-app winbugs14.exe _X11TransOpen: Unable to find transport for tcp _X11TransOpen: Unable to find transport for tcp _X11TransOpen: Unable to find transport for tcp _X11TransOpen: Unable to find transport for tcp Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. (The errors are actually repeated -- this is verbatim.) I looked at my DISPLAY variable to see if I can correct the second error: $ echo $DISPLAY /tmp/launch-UTIOMG/:0 I tried this setting: $ export DISPLAY=3D:0.0 :0.0 $ ./wine --cx-app winbugs14.exe Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. (Again the error was printed twice.) I tried this variation too, but it led to the same error: $ ./wine C:\\Program\ Files\\WinBUGS14\\WinBUGS14 ./wine C:\\Program\ Files\\WinBUGS14\\WinBUGS14 Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. My X11 server was running at all times. I also tried restarting it. I also tried running the X11 server along with CrossOver in the background, and the X11 server by itself, but these different conditions made no difference. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
