Is PowerDesigner available in Linux?
Jamali
and is it a separate purchase?
Thanks!

C++ foundation classes, and specifically did not work on a Linux
version, although some of us did ask for it. If enough users
asked/demanded a Linux version, they might be inclined to do something
about this, but otherwise, not.
Now, the Wine idea from Karel might be an option. I don't have a Linux
box to play with. Can anyone out there test this? I'd love to hear
what happens.

Really? Must be something other than Windows I'm running on my laptop here. <G>

best idea. :-)
I meant "Never designed for Linux", or "Only designed for Windows."
Whichever sounds smarter and/or cooler.

Or maybe that's why some feature work in an odd way. They were designed for something
other than windows. <g>

I gave it a try with wine...
...with PD 10 that is included with the Sybase ASE 15 PC client , and
with PD 12 b2.
Both versions *cannot* be installed on my linux box.
PD 12 b2 while running the installer, after Agreeing to the License
PD 10.1 fails after the installer is almost finished
The error message is always a raw alert box "this program was compiled
to run under unicode" Setup will now terminate
I think this must be an error message from the PD installer
snippet of wine error message :
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "PDCORE11.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program
Files\\Sybase\\PowerDesigner 11\\pdshell11.exe" failed, status c0000142
Maybe PD 9.5 runs under wine but I don't have the time to try some more.
A "wine expert" ;-) might figure it out to get it installed. Seems to be
a minor issue... maybe with the next release when wine has better
unicode support, or some other trick (getting wine to use native
libraries... or whatever it's called)

If wine is configured to emulate winxp
the PD version *can* indeed be installed and now runs on my linux box.
PD will not run under an emulated Windows 98 .
This was the pretty basic error I made the first time ... as wine does
no longer use a config file,
instead since release 20050725 wineconfig must be used to do this.
So models can be edited but some tasks such as adding ODBC data sources
will need more fine-tuning of the wine configuration and the emulated
windows.
