Running Mandrake 8.0, KDE 2.1.1, wine 20010305
Gray haired grandfather ( so be gentle:-) started with Apple //e, DOS
experience back to 3.3, WIN to 3.1, new to really using Linux, though I
installed it all the way back to Slackware and Yggdrasil from floppies
(kernel 0.9something as I recall) Wow, what progress!!
My current problem:
I can open Agent from a terminal (Konsole) with the command line
/mnt/windows/program\ files/agent/agent.exe
I tried that as a script (never wrote a script before).
did chmod -e agent
did chmod a -e agent
added #! to beginning of line
and other items from various books I have lying around.
I am shown as the owner. User, group, and all have read and execute
permissions. User also has write permission set.
Tried checking needs terminal to run.
Terminal ends up with error message
Gdk-Warning **: locale not supported by C library
I came to the conclusion that command won't work alone because I must have a
terminal session open to execute the command line from. As "Run in DOS
Window" (Don't be shy about correcting that assumption, because I think I
already addressed that above)
So I tried Plan B. Create new link to application on desktop. Set
permissions as above.
Command line as above returns
Couldn't launch /mnt/windows/program\ files/agent/agent.exe
Command line
Konsole -e /m-e /mnt/windows/program\ files/agent/agent.exe
flashes an open window and closes it. Task bar shows Agent, changes to
Konsole, and disappears.
Command line
xterm -e /mnt/windows/program\ files/agent/agent.exe
returns
Can't execvp /mnt/windows/program\: No such file or directory
Interesting that the window stays open, the error appears to be quite
different, and the error appears to occur at the \, which here is a release
for the following space in the command line and seems handled with aplomb
with the other approaches..
So I am becoming tired, confused, frustrated.
Hints greatly appreciated.
