Basically, you are having a tmp file problem. ‘logfile’ is a variable in function extractCABS () in ies4linux-2.5beta4/lib/functions.sh, which invokes (is set by) function create_temp_file() on line 353, which first tries ‘mktemp’, then failing that, ‘tempfile’. Let us know if MAC OSX (what version?) is missing both of these commands. If not, comment out the line containing the command you don’t have. If you are missing both commands, comment out both lines, and hard code a filename here as a return value (‘touch made-up-filename;echo made-up-filename’), and make sure you have permissions in the directory you create the file in. create_temp_file() is also a new function in beta4.

The last idea did the trick, I removed ‘-block-size=1′ in both places and it started the download. Now I get stuck at another place, I can’t find what the error tells me in “install.sh”:

—–
Installing IE 6
Initializing
Creating Wine Prefix
Extracting CAB files
/Users/pp/Desktop/ies4linux-2.5beta4/lib/install.sh: line 8: $logfile: ambiguous redirect
cat: : No such file or directory
An error occured when trying to cabextract some files.

Just to state the obvious, a line is commented out if you place a ‘#’ in column 1. So commenting out the first and second command blocks would look like this, except for the spacing:

# stat ‘-Lc’ ‘%s’ “$1″ 2> ‘/dev/null’ && return 0

# ls ‘–block-size=1′ ‘-l’ “$1″ &> ‘/dev/null’ &’
# return 0
# }

Downloading everything we need
/Users/pp/Desktop/ies4linux-2.5beta4/lib/install.sh: line 28: [: 0 /Users/pp/.ies4linux/downloads/DCOM98.EXE: integer expression expected
DCOM98.EXE 100%
An error ocurred when downloading. Please run IEs4Linux again. Corrupted file: DCOM98.EXE
——

The file DCOM98.EXE is nowhere to be found, and the error pops up almost immediadetly after invoking the script. Beta1 (or Beta2) ran fine, I’m still using IE 6 from that installation. Any ideas?

Thanks for IEs4Linux!

I can confirm that the Hebrew bug is fixed.

THANKS!
