MMExp Ubuntu

Post by razor2006 »

I don't know if this one has been asked before or not, but is it possible to run MMUD Explorer on Linux? Ubuntu 9.10 specifically? I have Mega running fine and dandy with Wine, but MMExp gives an error on loading after it installs. I don't know if it's possible to even do because of the links to the databases and stuff. Maybe Ghaleon will know? If it is possible, how'd ya do it?

Update:

I got it to work! The problem was when MMExp tried to install MS Jet 4.0 during setup, it wouldn't install properly, and MMExp can't run without it. Here's what I had to do:

Install winetricks:

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

Make it executable:

chmod +x winetricks

Install the MS Jet 4.0 package:

./winetricks jet40

Install MMExp like you normally would via Wine, and BAM. Functional MMExp.
