If so, kindly post the solution -- even though this is an old post, it still might help someone else w/ the same, or a similar, problem.

Are you using Wine?
Instead of trying to use a Windows program under Linux, try using an excellent Linux program such as Eboard or Xboard.
Download and install both extra packages for Eboard and you will increase it's flexibility.
