I tested both 6.5 and 6.7 of Goldmine and found that both of them fail in the startup due to the fact that they can not access the dBase or Borland data base engines.

I tested both 6.5 and 6.7 of Goldmine and found that both of them fail in the startup due to the fact that they can not access the dBase or Borland data base engines.
This can be overcome by making sure the BDE is installed as well. The best procedure is to install GoldMine in a single folder (not in the program files tree!) on a windows machine and copy that folder over.
GoldMine (dBase version) then works just fine with the major exceptions being
--GM+View tab
--E-mail reading and composition areas
--Activity notes
All of these depend heavily on Internet Explorer integration to work.
The activity notes can be made to NOT depend on IE with an INI setting added to the GM.INI in the root folder of the GoldMine tree.
Add the following item to the [GoldMine] section:
[GoldMine]
HTML_CAL_NOTES=0...and the activity notes will work.
That leaves e-mail and the (very useful) gm+view tab not working... If anyone is familiar with how one might enable GoldMine to 'see' IE (possibly as installed by the IEs4Linux project?) I think it COULD work with just a little tweaking.
So close, yet so far. :(
