Some web sites are coded to only work with MS I.E. Below is how I successfully installed IEs 4 Linux:
Login as root, and do the following:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s wineboot wineprefixcreate
Logout of root
Run the following from your normal user account, NOT FROM ROOT !
yum -y install wine* yum -y install cabextract
wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-2.99.0.1
./ies4linux --no-gui
After the setup completes, you will need to do the following, because Unix & Linux does not recognize spaces as part of file names. The "" preserves the white space:
cd $HOME/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c ln -s Program Files Program_Files cd $HOME/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/Program_Files ln -s Internet Explorer Internet_Explorer
ln -s Common Files Common_Files
Lastly:
cd $HOME/.ies4linux/bin
cp -p ie6 ie6.dist
Now, edit the above ie6 shell script, and replace all occurrences of
Program Files with Program_Files and Internet Explorer with Internet_Explorer
