No, though I'd love to see it. It's the latest 4.6.3...

Just wondering what you did exactly? I also have ubuntustudio 7.10 here, and when I tried to load Max under wine I got some nonsense error from PACE and gave up (insert rant on copy-protection here).

Did you install from scratch on Linux? I was just trying to load it up on my windows drive.

I think you answered it yourself. PACE needs to be installed onto the

system. Because Wine has nothing to do with your Windows partition/drive,

running Max executable from a different partition (or a different drive)

without installing it is in effect equivalent to extracting executable from

the installer and trying to run it by itself. So in short, run the installer

under Wine and 'ye shall see the light' ;-)

I have the C drive in wine set to my windows C drive, so surely this won't do anything.

Do I need to go back to having a separate wine C drive?

In a nutshell, yes. It is likely that PACE messes with the registry and Wine

has its own. Also, check that you've not simply specified a "virtual" c

drive somewhere in your home folder, as this is not the same as the

drive somewhere in your home folder, as this is not the same as the
physical/real Windows drive.

If you notice the subject, "MaxRT" refers to Max *runtime*. I don't 

believe PACE will work under wine, unless someone has discovered the 

contrary. So you'll need to launch the runtime version. Can't edit 

the patches, but you should be able to run them. I have no idea how 

MIDI drivers or audio drivers work under wine, but for the

This is great news! I'm eager to get an asus eeepc, and there's no way I'm

running windows on it! While I didn't intend to use it with patches, if I

can install the runtime, that'd be so amazing, allowing some of my projects

This is great news! I'm eager to get an asus eeepc, and there's no way I'm
running windows on it! While I didn't intend to use it with patches, if I
can install the runtime, that'd be so amazing, allowing some of my projects
infinitely greater portability!

I installed it to the default wine C drive, which is a folder on my 

I downloaded Max Runtime (no Pace) and then navigated to the .msi file 

in a terminal, typed as explaned on some wine help sites:

msiexec /i "MaxMSP 4.6.3 Runtime Installer.msi"

that started the installer and did the rest. After closing the window I 

would find MaxRT in my program folder, launch it and its there. It would

time to dive into it though, I was just curious, and I dream of an Eee

hi, I just tried max 5 and 6 on ubuntu 11.10, with the program wine. I can get max runtime to work and get sound out to the speakers. But the full program is not working due to missing pace drivers, I tried installing the pace drivers, but they fail near the end of installation.

anyway, its, great to get runtime working. : )

What Joshua wrote 4 years ago still holds: PACE will, with approx 99.999999% certainty, not work with wine/ubuntu/Linux/etc. IMS there is a FAQ on the Pace site to this effect.
