Laurel,
first off, let's not confuse people. The O S is Linux, not Linox. It's l i
n u x, not l i n o x.
Secondly, it's definitely something that you could try. It depends on what
libraries it needs to work, and if all of them are in the correct location,
(usually /usr/bin.) some will be in /var or in /etc, although most in
/usr/bin. As long as they're there, there is a chance. Notice, I did say,
a, chance. It's honestly kind of hard to say. Here's something though you
could try if nothing else. go to:
http://www.macports.com
What this site basically is, is a repository of aps which have deliveretly
been ported over to work in Terminal on the Mac. These apps normally were
designed to run on Linux.
the other thing too about this is, if you don't find a macports for it, and
have to install it yourself, depending on the package, you might have to
build and compile it from source, which, if you don't have make installed,
(type "which make" at the prompt to find out,) then it may not work. I
suppose you could try sudo apt-get install make, but don't count on it.
Keep in mind that trying to do sudo apt-get install YourPackageName probably
isn't gonna work. this is because /etc/apt/sources.list is probably totally
different from the repos you'd find in a Linux distro like Ubuntu/Debian, or
Fedora, etc. So yeah...
In summation, it's possible, but don't hold your breath to it.
Chris.

Subject: can programs designed for lenox also be used on OS 10 Maverick
So, I'm looking at an open source program that would help me with learning
another language. Here's the thing, it says the program is for windows or
lennox though, but, I've been told that Lenox is pretty similar to actual
OS 10 Mavericks. So, as my subject line says, could an open source program
written and designed to work on lenox also work on OS 10 Mavericks? Would
it hurt to download it and try? Or would it be totally nonworkable.
