Hi ,

Jorgeval, I can't help you with your problem but I sure would like to know where I could pick up a copy of FP for Unix.
I've been looking on Ebay for months to no avail.
I want to get out of the MS trap as I think I see where XP is going to lead (if it,s not already there).
If you have any idea where I could get a copy or if you have a spare you want to part with, please let me know.

If you by chance want a 'legit' copy, try here:

Not sure what you've tried.. but since it appears to be running under 'root', I'd say take a look at the permissions of the directory that the app is located in, as well as any files/directories use by the app, you may need to change permissions to run as 'user' rather than 'root'

If files/folders are located in sensitive locations, or are sensitive theirselves.. I'd think real hard before modifying permissions

JorGeVaL : Foxpro for Unix 'is' on Ebay every once in a Blue moon, but be prepared to spend $$$ the version I purchased ended up costing me 850.00

DSummZZZ did you a favor by recommending

http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/msfox.htm

expecially if you intend on using this to develop products to 'sell' I'm sure you don't want to find yourself in a bind because you developed your item using ileagle software.

Other than that I can tell you it's a very hard item to locate.

Hope this helps

BITFUZZY , Thank you for your answer but i am not running my application yet , first at all i want to be sure that the fox can run.

I changed the file permision on /usr/bin/fox to 777 or 4755 but i cannot run with an ordinary user.

For some additional info on FPU under Linux, go to

http://www.dennisallen.com

- he's done extensive research into it, and has a ~50 page report there.

You might want to check out the progress of the WINE folks. They're getting pretty close to getting VFP working with WINE under Linux.

I'm working with WINE on my Red Hat Linux 8.0 machine. I'll be posting my progress on the linux page on my site. Next step, running Foxpro for Windows 2.6 under Linux.
