Arena/Wine 64 bit/question

Post by Michael Diosi »

Hello,

Is it possible to run Arena (32 bits) in a Linux sytem with 64 bits using Wine ? Someone wrote me an email telling me that Wine won't start Arena saying it is a 32 bits application. So does it work or is a 64 bit compile of Arena needed ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

You can install 32-bit wine under 64-bit Linux. (Exactly how do so will depend on which distribution you use.) I can confirm that if you do this the arena201.zip on your download page works properly.
