My Playonlinux won't start....

I satisfied all the dependencies. When i run the program doesn't show anything, it just stays still...



bash-3.1# ./playonlinux
|


Specs:

Slackware 12.1
KDE 3.5.9

The same happens to me when i try to run playonlinux, the script halts after the command "source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources".

Same issue here.
Starting PlayOnLinux using bash or the shortcut will load the process without issuing any errors... But nothing happens...

You are using Slackware ?
Can you add to the head of playonlinux file
set -x
And post the output here ?


(and if your bash output still very verbose after playonlinux stop, just run "set +x")

I have the exact same problem, running Gentoo.

set -x gives:

in some endless loop.

for Slackware users you may be missing dependencies, I was.
you need imagemagik, cabextract and wxPython-2.8.9.1-i486-1. All are available from slackbuilds. Worked like a charm after i installed missing dependencies.
