			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At work, me and my boss, <a href="http://aliasaria.ca/blog/" class="ubernym uttJustLink" onmouseover="domTT_activate(this, event, 'content', 'The founder &amp; CEO of Well.ca','caption', 'Ali Asaria' );">Ali</a>, (we&#8217;re the developers) both use Macbook Pros as our development computers. Which is great for most things, I love Macs. The only problem is that we&#8217;re developing an online site, and the reality is that Internet Explorer is still the most dominant browser. Right now, we&#8217;re using Parallels to test our site on IE but it&#8217;s a slow process. Enter&#8230;<a href="http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/" target="_blank">IEs 4 Linux</a>.</p>
<p>Even with that name it does work with Mac OSX, there is even a <a href="http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Does_IEs_4_Linux_Work_with_Mac_OSX" target="_blank">FAQ entry</a> for running IEs 4 Linux on OSX. Here is the process I went through to install IEs 4 Linux on my machine:</p>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>MacPorts &#8211; http://www.macports.org (You can also use Fink)</li>
<li>X11 SDK and X11 User installed (These can be found on your install DVD)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Steps:</strong></p>
<p>First, I installed the required packages through MacPorts for Wine:<br />
[cc lang="bash"]sudo port install cabextract wget fontforge  freetype[/cc]<br />
<em>Note: If you have a problem with installing these packages, you might need to run the command &#8220;clean&#8221; with port. This removes all the temporary files created. E.g. &#8220;sudo port clean &#8211;all freetype&#8221;</em></p>
<p>After installing these packages, I then installed Wine:<br />
[cc lang="bash"]sudo port install wine[/cc]</p>
<p>All that&#8217;s left is running the install script for IEs 4 Linux. Then you can run the X11 application installed with X11User and call the command ie, ie55 or ie5 in xterm.</p>
<p>Now that is the way that it was supposed to work, in reality I came across a few problems:</p>
<p><strong>You have an Apple X11 installation already</strong><strong>:</strong></p>
<p>[cc lang="bash"]<br />
You have an Apple X11 installation already.<br />
MacPorts will not overwrite it.</p>
<p>If you really want to use XFree86 instead,<br />
please move it aside first :<br />
[/cc]<br />
This was caused by having X11 SDK installed but not X11 User installed. X11 User is located in  <em>/System/Installation/Packages/X11User.pkg. </em>After installing, make sure to run the &#8220;clean -all&#8221; command.</p>
<p><strong>Wine is not found:</strong></p>
<p>This error message shows up when xterm does not have a properly set up PATH. To correct this,  read this page on <a href="http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts#OptionsfortheMacPortsshellandX11environment" target="_blank">Options for MacPorts&#8217; shell and X11 Environment.</a></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>]]></content:encoded>
