Hi! My wife needs the good, old SPSS 11.5 installed on Linux. Thanks to this forum, Wine is running as it should. But now I have a problem with SPSS: After starting the program (installation was no problem), I just see the frame of the window (which is empty - I can see the window behind it), and the first dialog screen in the middle of it. Unfortunately the dialog-screen (there you can open a file, create a new one and so on) is gray. No enter, no space - nothing brings me to nomally following screens. I hope, that everyone can understand my description. If not: [img=http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/5812/screenshotaj8.th.png] (http://img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotaj8.png)
Why you dont use the clone of SPSS called PSPP(for linux)? and SPSS is available for linux too! http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/

You did not state where you are attempting to do this so I will use some old instructions Open a terminal session: wget http://www.dankegel.com/wine/winetricks winetricks riched20 This will install Microsoft's Riched components and switch winecfg to run them as native dlls. You may also need to install the corefonts, Arial, Times New Roman and Tohoma. winetricks corefonts You will be prompted to accept the license agreement. James McKenzie
Hi... Actually the corefonts and riched20 didn't do it... but I go on and try to install some other win-programs. Perhaps this will help. Perhaps any hints? I will try PSPP too - but the one-click-install didn't work for a gui. I will follow the instructions on the homepage an do it manually. Yep - SPSS is out for Linux too.. I know [Evil or Very Mad] but my wife just wants 11.5. Of course: this is nearly the only version of spss, which is not tested... ;)
