In Topic: NIV.bblx no longer accessible

Hat tip to Charlie, he suggested renaming the module to 84NIV, instead of NIV or New International Version. For some reason E-Sword doesn't read it if it still says NIV. After renaming the module to 84NIV (and editing it in SQlite) it came right up in E-Sword. Wahoo!

In Topic: Useing E-Sword in Linux with Wine

Wanted to chime in on my experience on getting E-Sword to work under Linux.

my netbook is running Kubuntu 12.04 (Beta 2), and I first installed wine from the command line (skip the repos!)

I followed the directions of Silverlight (Post #5) before even attempting to install E-Sword.

It's critical to have the various dll's installed before installing E-Sword. In my experience I couldn't get E-Sword to work if they were not there, and putting them in after the fact never worked for me.

I then run the installer from the command line

sudo wine setup1010.exe

After that the various features (to include search!) worked, so I'm happy.

I always try to install things from the command line instead of clicking on the program. If there is a problem, it's easier to see what cratered the install from the command line.

The only problem that I've run into is my NIV version doesn't work anymore under the 10.10 program. I saw another thread where that is being discussed. Basically you have to go back and redownload the premium bibles to get them to work under this version.

Roger that. Since I've changed the 1984 version to "NIV84", it won't appear until I go back to eStudySource and download the 2011 version, correct?

So if I understand correctly, you have to have the current 2011 version to get your 1984 version to work? I've already changed the 1984 version file name and fooled around with the SQlite program, and still doesn't show up.
