Mencari Keberuntungan : Instalasi SPSS 15 Dengan Wine






Setelah berhasil menginstalasi SPSS 11.5 dengan menggunakan CrossOver 7.10, saya mencoba menginstalasi SPSS 15 dengan Wine. Sistem yang saya gunakan adalah :


# Ubuntu 7.10 Kernel 2.6.22-generic
# Wine-0.9.59


Secara keseluruhan, proses instalasi lancar dan cepat. Pun ketika 'installation finished', SPSS bisa langsung saya jalankan dari 'Wine>Programs>SPSS'. Loading cukup capat, bisa masuk ke window kerja SPSS, namun hanya beberapa saat, setelah itu macet. Kenapa ya?


Karena penasaran, akhirnya saya coba jalankan manual dari Terminal untuk mengetahui error apa saja yang sebenarnya terjadi. 


$ wine ./wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SPSS/spsswin.exe


Ternyata ada ratusan DLL library yang tidak ada. Saya bingung. Saya coba jalankan 'winecfg', dan library-library yang di butuhkan pun tidak ada secara built-in di Wine. Akhirnya saya mencoba “cara yang sangat jahat”, yaitu menggunakan library DLL native milik Windows. Saya copy semua library DLL yang ada di direktori C:\Windows\System32 dari komputer Windows milik rekan saya ^_^ Kemudian saya letakan di direktori Wine di /home/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32, dan akhirnya SPSS 15 berjalan dengan sangat lancar!


Karena saya sadar saya melakukan “perbuatan jahat”, akhirnya saya un-install lagi SPSS tersebut, dan secara keseluruhan saya tidak puas. Kalau mau, sebenarnya kita bisa mencari DLL di support Microsoft secara free. Nah, karena begitu banyaknya library yang di butuhkan, hal ini bukan pekerjaan yang mudah. Cara pintas yang paling simpel adalah kita membuat skrip untuk men-download dan menginstalasi library tambahan yang dibutuhkan Wine seperti winetricks. Kita bisa menggunakan skrip winetricks dan tinggal mengganti dan menambah file yang kita butuhkan :D


Walalupun begitu, karena di kost saya tidak ada koneksi internet, tetap saja mustahil menggunakan Winetricks. Bisa saja sih, saya mencari warnet yang menggunakan Linux, kemudian saya membuat direktori 'fake' wine untuk sekedar meletakan file download-an dari skrip winetricks, tapi tetap saja merepotkan T_T


Karena opsi menggunakan kembali windows sudah saya tutup rapat-rapat, akhirnya saya memilih menggunakan SPSS 11.5 saja, yang sudah berjalan tanpa masalah sedikit pun di Linux.


Selamat ber-Linux !

winetrik bisa jalan tanpa internet, asal program2 yg perlu di download sudah disimpan di folder wietricks cache. jalankan aja di tempat yg ada internet seperti upk, terus copy folder wietrickscache ke rumah, jalankan wietricks dan voila...

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin. But, all of those projects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE and how about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop? (Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now). Until now, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically, LXDE uses gtk (now still stay w

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba. If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2. Once you will be asked to input the Windows Share Network password (if exists), select Remember Forever option. 3. You are connected to Windows Share Network ;)
