Hi,

I'm quite unexperienced with linux. I wanted to install EVE via playonlinux so I installed wine1.6 and playonlinux 4.2.5. I started playonlinux, chose EVE from the list and followed the instructions until I had to chose to download the game. Then playonlinux reported a fatal error.

Any hints whats wrong?

I'm running Linux Mint 17.1 and have a Radeon HD7870 with propriatary driver installed.

/home/xxx/.PlayOnLinux//install: line 95: check_one: command not found
/home/xxx/.PlayOnLinux//install: line 96: check_one: command not found
[main] Fatal: Error while checking EVE online version.

I've never used PoL, so I might be wrong, but it should show you some kind of installation window and write there what exactly went wrong.

As far as I understand, check_one checks for some installed programs (depending on the arguments) and a quick glance at the eve installation script for PoL I've managed to google suggests that lines 95 and 96 are checking for wget and sed. So you should probably sudo apt-get install wget sed. (thouh I can't fathom how can you NOT have sed installed. wget I can understand, but not having sed is just wrong. At least I've never had to install it manually)

Thx for your reply.

Checked the script and can confirm that check_one is looking for sed and wget. Both are installed but the command check_one seems to be unknown. Does anybody have an idea what it does? Shouldn't it be installed alongside PoL?

Maybe I can just comment both lines out. Unfortunately, my ISP decided not to provide internet services today so I will have to wait to try it.

Play on Linux has been broken for some time to install Eve, it is relatively straightforward installing and running it though from a terminal. Also although Wine 1.6 was ok, there have been marked improvements in the latest build and it seems far more stable.

http://WineHQ.org will have your latest build for you OS along with installation instructions, from there its as simple as running the file you want to run by opening a terminal: "wine *executable file name*"

Is it a tarp?

Ops success!

Installed without PoL.

Thank you.
