2009/4/2 sconti555 <wineforum-user@xxxxxxxxxx>: > I was wondering if any of you would have a clue around why WinBUGS (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/), a nifty Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler widely used in Bayesian statistical modelling, no longer works when run through any version of WINE newer than 1.1.12. > I have encountered this issue of my machines at home (which runs on Zenwalk 6.0) and work (Mandriva 2008.1) a while ago, but only reported it now as I kept on hoping for the issue to be resolved. Curiously enough OpenBUGS (http://www.math.helsinki.fi/openbugs/), an open-source version of WinBUGS, runs without a hitch under any version of WINE. > Should I report this as a (win)bug? With many thanks in advance. You should indeed - real app, used to run, doesn't run now, a regression. Is the binary freeware (if not open source)? Then others can test as well. Either way, you would provide the best possible bug reporting by doing a regression test on Wine. This is laborious, but not complicated if you're OK at the command line :-) http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting This will let you zero in very effectively on the precise commit that broke the application. - d.
