Hi

No, its not, its a path issue.

Generally speaking, when I want to run a gui program from a click, I write a
little script, which changes the current directory to the one the program is in,
then runs the program. If all the files required by the eu program are relative
to this, then everytthing works fine.

eg, I use my Fax Centre (in the archives), to filter out all the junk faxes I
get, and automatically print faxes from known senders.

To start the program, I use the script

cd ~/Faxes               (its in the Faxes directory of my home directory)
FaxC.exe                 (I've named the bound executable an exe (sorry))

click on this, and everything works (as long as the script is executable of
course) (chmod +x FaxC.scr)
