In early 2009 I was running MetaTrader on Kubuntu 8.04. It installed and ran
perfectly. I never paid attention to which version of Wine it was using. It was
whatever was in the repositories.
A while back I did a clean install of Kubuntu 9.10 and never could get
MetaTrader to work. It would appear to install fine but when I try to start it
I get the dancing cursor for a few seconds but the program never opens. I tried
several versions of Wine with no change.
I went back to Kubunto 8.04 with a clean install and tried several versions of
Wine and it did the same thing.
Now I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10. According to
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2893 MetaTrader
works with Wine 1.1.28. It also refers to a site with installation instructions
but they are from 2007 so maybe out of date.
Before I give this a try on this install I want to know now is how can I get
MetaTrader to work today with Ubuntu 9.10.
Which version of Wine will work?
Where can I get that version of Wine and what is the best way to install it?
