Recently, parker25 told me that when he tried
to run Foldit directly in Linux, it was giving
him all kinds of problems, bugs, crashes, etc.
He found it easier to run Foldit within Wine
on his Linux machine.

He said that the Wine website said that Wine
is not a Windows emulator but rather implements
the Windows APIs to work on Mac, Linux, or BSD.
He said that you can run Windows programs in
Wine on Linux systems.

Thus, I suggest that if Foldit is having trouble
running directly on your Linux or Mac system,
you should try running the Windows version of
Foldit in Wine on your Linux or Mac system.
If Tutorial 5-3 or other Foldit ED Puzzles are
crashing on your machine, perhaps they will
work if you instead run them using the Windows
version of Foldit within Wine on your machine.

If you try these things, please post about what
happens.

Thanks, and good luck!
