Hi! I'm on a gentoo box and when I try to run playonlinux I get this


PlayOnLinux v2.0
----------------
Checking python : [ Ok ]
which: no lynx in (/home/nirtal/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/opt/vmware/workstation/bin)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named wxversion

Do any one have a suggestion of what I can do?

You need to install some dependencies to run PlayOnLinux, which must be installed manually if you use the .tar.gz package.
You need :
- lynx (we can read on your shell that it's missing)

Aslo check that you have :
- imagemagick (we use it for icons)
- a recent version of python-wxgtk (2.8 would be perfect)
- wine (but I think it's OK )
- unzip, wget, xterm and python (but I also think it's OK )

I think we should notice all these dependencies somewhere in our documentation. That could be useful for those who don't use a debian-like distribution.

I hope that will solve your problem.

Hi samourai0,

Why don't simply do what POL suggest you to do?
Just install the lzma package with the following command:
sudo apt-get install lzma

Not so hard finally, isn't it?

Bye
