See my answer to http://www.playonmac.com/en/app-1726-GOGcom__Caesar_III.html (I guess it'll become a FAQ as more people use recent kernels)

Hello Petch

Thanks for your reply, I have seen your answer in the given link which suggest to add

abi.ldt16 = 1
to /etc/sysctl.conf

I have done the changes to conf file but my issue still persists. I am not abke to install 16-bit app. I get same errors again.

could you please help further..

Thanks in anticipation!!

Hello Team,

you need to run sysctl -p (or reboot) for this setting to take effect.

But is this program for Windows? For Windows 3.x maybe?

Wine doesn't have an excellent support for Windows 3.x programs, it aims at running Win32/Win64 programs those days.

So if it doesn't work, you can try to install Windows 3.11 in DOSBox, and install Turbo C++ in it.

Or use another compiler.
