I use BabasChess 4.0 on my XP to play on freechess.org and would like to get it going on Ubuntu 9.10. I installed the latest stable version of wine 1.0.1.

I downloaded both the BabasChess 4 zip image and the file with the windows installer. Didn't have much luck with either. The zip image is the one that was mentioned by Babas as the way to go, but I couldn't see what to do with it when I extracted the files.

The windows setup.exe version installed but when attempting to launch the program it threw an error report window and crashed.

I tried hard to find some good documentation but everything seemed to assume more knowledge than I have. I managed to remove BabasChess and left wine hoping to start again.

I use eboard, although it only has three tabs available (Main board, console, Seek graph when connected).

It seems that a function in the GDIPlus.dll is not yet implemented in wine. Maybe a newer version from www.winehq.org will help.
