Hi,
I tried to start PlayOnLinux but it says: "PlayOnLinux cannot find nc. You need to install it to continue". But I do not know what "nc" is ... 4.1.3 worked (but has this update-bug), only newer versions do not work.
Any advise? Thanks!

Thanks, I installed netcat and now it is working fine. But could you add it as dependency or just write the full name in the error message? That makes life easier ;) if someone else has this (or a similar) error in the future.

Jud, I had the same problem. If you launch the app from a console, you'll see something like 'which: no nc in (/usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/bin:/home/l/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin)' My solution was to copy (as root) netcat to /usr/games and then rename it to nc. # cd /usr/bin/ /usr/bin # cp -p netcat /usr/games/ /usr/bin # cd /usr/games/ /usr/games # cp netcat nc
Why would the devels choosed to rename netcat to nc is beyond me. Hope it'll work for you too.

Well, if you look at Makefile in the upstream sources, that's how it's initially called (not to mention package name); http://nc110.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nc110/nc110/Makefile: nc: netcat.c $(LD) $(DFLAGS) $(XFLAGS) $(STATIC) -o nc netcat.c $(XLIBS)
It probably comes down to the old tradition to give short names to command line utiliies on Unix to decrease typing. Edited by petch

My error said: which: no nc in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.6.3:/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/tools:/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/platform-tools:/usr/games/bin) So I followed your instructions but changed /usr/games/ to /usr/games/bin/
