" I also got the updated version from bible.org. Still have the problem. What I get is the chapter and verse but no text.????"

I had same problem using older e-sword 8 and wine 1.1. After changing some .dll files from built-in to native I finally got it to load but all I had was chapter & verse, no text. Did some looking around in e-sword and found an option to "not use a backround". Once I clicked that the text magically appeared.

Don't know that this is solution to your problem but it might give you a direction to investigate.

Greetings,

Just found you folks so this is my first post. I'd like to share my experience with linux. Just installed Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Added the wine ppa and installed wine 1.4 with synaptic. Downloaded and installed latest E-sword 10 with no problems. Opened it and went to download manager, clicked all I wanted, clicked apply and they all installed just fine, very quickly.

Re-downloaded all my premium modules for ver. 10, clicked on them and they all installed perfectly. Got so excited I bought 2 more. I didn't need to use any special installation tools or fiddle with my wine configuration. (It is default - as installed) Downloaded a few modules from other sites and they all worked fine.

For those having trouble I'd like to suggest you try the latest version of wine. The one from winehq. Haven't had too much time to experiment but searches are as quick or quicker than they were with Windows. The only issue I have is that it takes some time for the program to load initially. Once loaded all is well. Installed it on my Asus netbook running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit with same results, although the initial program loading is painfully slow.

Problems? 1. Is there anything I can install with winetricks that might speed up initial loading? 2. With all the dictionaries, maps, resources available, how can I remember that the main objective is to get my sermons done?

Blessings.

John
