SOLVED: installing ies4linux under Maverick

Installing ies4linux on Ubuntu Maverick, using this command:

./ies4linux --no-gui and I had the following message:

"Your wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed."

On Ubuntu Maverick, I fixed this message by editing:

vi lib/install.sh and replace

wineprefixcreate &> /dev/null with

wineboot &> /dev/null and also edit:

vi lib/functions.sh and replace:

if which wineprefixcreate &> /dev/null; then ( wineprefixcreate 2>&1 ) | debugPipe with

if which wineboot &> /dev/null; then ( wineboot 2>&1 ) | debugPipe

Re-run ies4linux and it runs to completion, and installs ie6 in your ~/bin directory.

This gave me a functioning ie6 under Maverick/Ubuntu 10.10
