hello,

I'm giving POL another go, since I use Slackware I got the generic linux package. Have installed all dependencies (lzma, wxGTK, cabextract) from SlackBuilds (www.slackbuilds.org).

My specs:
- Slackware 12.2 (up-to-date);
- Wine-1.1.14;
-POL 3.3.1 (all dependencies built from SlackBuilds;
- KDE-3.5.10;
- errors: no errors, Pol doesn't starts;
-uname -a output from my computer is:
Linux predator 2.6.27.7-smp #2 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:32:43 CST 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux;
RAM: 2Gb

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,
gtl

hello,

try launching pol from your console, you'll probably get an error message, if you do, please post it, we might be able to figure out what's wrong then ^^

If there is a problem, fill out complaint form and place it in an envelope addressed to the name of the hospital in which you were born....

hello,

actually i tried launching it from a console.
i did something diffent now:

$ wine explorer

since i already had setup wine with wincfg and said to emulate a virtual desktop, I tried navigating to playonlinux folder and running it from explorer. I got this error:
