How did you install e-Sword? Which version of e-Sword you are using? Is the e-bibles compatible with e-Sword you are using now?

If you use installer to install e-Sword, you should use instlaller as well to install addons.

Launch the installer and choose "manual", and locate the addons exe file.

For those that use the various utility programs for e-Sword, if you used David's installer program to install e-Sword, then you have to use that installer to install the utility programs.

I know this post is from a long time ago, but I just wanted to say thank you to both you guys, Jonathon and David, for your work with this. Thanks to the instructions on this post I now have e-Sword running on my Ubuntu 9.10 CE as well as it does on XP (I'm dual-booting), with all my preferred commentaries and Bibles there too. This means one major block is potentially out of the way to move to Ubuntu. Anyway, thanks a lot for a great job!
