Hi Steven.

As I cannot  get e-Sword to work on Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10, I fired up an old 
Win XP, and installed it on that, and it shows the default bible text ok. At 
the same time I ran the .exe's for other bibles, which created .bbl files, 
and which I now have available for use on Linux, that is if i can get e-Sword 
to work on Linux.

At the moment, when I start e-Sword on Intrepid, I get the main window 
opening, which has 3 smaller windows within it, but no text is displayed for 
the default kjv+ bible translation.

When I start e-Sword from KDE's Konsole, I get a load of output, some of which 
I posted on an earlier post to the list. There were more than 800 lines of 
output in total, showing a whole bunch of errors.

I cannot remember if anyone has said that they have e-Sword actually working 
with Wine on Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10, but if anyone actually does have it 
working, it would be nice to know how they did it.

Someone else on the list suggested Bibletime, which I also installed, and it 
does work ok on Intrepid. Of course as you have already said, it does not 
have the Good News Bible translation, which is the one you want.

I've tried e-Sword on both Kubuntu Intrepid, and Hardy, with no success. I 
seem to remember that you said that you had e-Sword working ok on an earlier 
version of Kubuntu. Do you remember what you had to do, to get get e-Sword 
working on these earlier versions of Kubuntu?

You could always ask the author of BibleTime to add the Good news Bible to the 
Bibletime package. Email address, and site link below.

Have a look at the New World Translation of the bible, that I mentioned on a 
previous post. It's in modern English, includes God's name (Jehovah), where 
it occurs in the hebrew scriptures, and is a very accurate translation. Link 
below.

Apologies if the few lines above are OT.
