I'm currently using Ubuntu 6.10. I had no luck using BeerSmith with either the latest version from the WINE repository (0.9.32) or the version in the Edgy backport repository (0.9.30) and following the recommended install instructions for using BeerSmith with WINE. I had not tried using BeerSmith yet with WINE as i am a new user...I've heard about it for a while, and finally decided to try it.
After a little thinking and searching, i found that the version of msvcr70.dll that was being called by the Mozilla control was not functioning properly. I copied msvcr/p70.dl from the system folder into the mozilla folder, and this time BeerSmith was able to run.
