wine users - Oct 2002 - WINSPOOL.DRV not found

Hi!

I get an error message that I need winspool.drv to run my specific win 
application, but that file could not be found. What can I do about it?

Regards,
Christian

Well... you should have winspool.drv. It is part of Wine. Perhaps give 
more info, like what version of Wine you are running, and what 
application. If you compile Wine off winehq.com, then winspool.drv.so 
would normally be in /usr/local/lib/wine.

Wine's version is 20020904.

I'm using the wine package from Debian Woody. I already tried the unstable 
version of the wine package, but had unmet dependencies (requires GLIBC_2.3 
and Debian doesn't seem to have this version yet - even in unstable).

The application I want to run is WinMX I already had it running since a week 
ago. So I'm a little bit surprised that it suddently doesn't work
anymore.

Seems to be /usr/lib/wine on my system, but there (and on the whole system) 
is no winspool.drv.so

I also checked if the file was deleted accidently, but it's completely 
missing in the libwine package.
