Dear PlayOnLinux users,


I am trying to install MS Office 2010 on Ubuntu 12.04 on my new MacBook Pro (15'').

I already read and followed every existing threads on forums and
followed every existing tutorial, but my problem seem unique so far,
since whichever solution I try, the problem remains. I have already posted on other forums, but nobody has been able to help me so far.


When I launch PlayOnLinux, two boxes appear one after the other (before
the latest upgrade of Ubuntu of last week, the second box did not
appear, only the first one did);

the first one tells me:

"Error: PlayOnLinux is unable to find 32bits OpenGL libraries. You might encounter problem with your games."

When I close this window, a second one pops up, stating:

"Error: PlayOnLinux cannot find 7z. You should install it to use PlayOnLinux."


Of course, I tried purging PlayOnLinux (uninstalling it and
re-installing it). I also tried other versions of PlayOnLinux. Nothing
matters: the problem remains.


I did not succeed so far to install 32bits OpenGL libraries, since I
have a Radeon graphics card (which seems to be unusual) and I just
cannot find these libraries.


Once the two "error" boxes are closed, PlayOnLinux is open, but does not
seem to work properly; when I try to install Microsoft Office 2010,
nothing happens. When I try to close PlayOnLinux, it is even worse:
Unity seems unable to close it (I even had a frozen screen when trying
to "xkill" it through the terminal).


I am looking forward to any tips that could help.


Great thanks in advance for your interest in helping me.


P.S.: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Whistler [AMD Radeon HD 6600M Series]

First, ensure that you are running PlayOnLinux 4.1

You don't need 32bits driver to install Office 2010 (I think), neither 7z
Nevertheless, you can install 7z by installing 7zip package
