How to install Oxford Advanced Learners' 8 in ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit
I have bought Oxford Advanced Learners' 8 which come along with installation CD. In the cd they have linux installation option. But i can't install that in my ubuntu. When i run setup.sh from my terminal i get the following error message:
The setup program seems to have failed on AMD64/unknown
Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup
Does anyone have idea about installing OALD 8 in Ubuntu x64?
For OALD8 on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, try the following instructions:
1 Dependencies
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-sdl dpkg-dev
2 Mount the ISO/CD
using Furious ISO Mount Tool, etc!
3 Begin Installation
Go to the mount directory
cd linux linux32 ./setup.sh
Tweaks:
1
No Sound?
Try padsp – PulseAudio OSS Wrapper:
padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS compatible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to a PulseAudio sound server.
padsp path-to-the-oald8
eg:
padsp ‘/home/nikunj/oald8/oald8′
2
Create a Shell-Script on the Desktop
#!/bin/sh padsp ‘/home/nikunj/oald8/oald8′
Make it executable. Also, optionally set the ICON from:
/home/nikunj/oald8/chrome/icons/default/main-window.xpm
3 (adjust)
Annoying Dialog: Click OK to download Plugin
Click Cancel. Yeah! Adjust! :P
