So i've been wanting to run some windows programs on my linux box and i heard the i should try WINE. I downloaded the RPM for rh9. Used the rpm -iv wine*.rpm command and the computer sat there thinking and doing its thing and then stops. So i try to run the notepad command and see if it all worked but all i get it the "wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger..." error whats going on here? i am running rh9 with a PIII, 256MB, 10GIG HD... any ideas? oh and in case you hadn't noticed i am pretty new to Linux, i have been self teaching for about a month now. thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's quite nice feedback of progress whilst installing.> So i try to run the notepad command and see if it all worked but all i > get it the "wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting > debugger..." error whats going on here? > i am running rh9 with a PIII, 256MB, 10GIG HD... any ideas?I had the same problem here, even though my RPM seemed to install okay. I'm on rh8 though. I've used Wine in previous versions successfully, so I am not sure what's going on now with 20031016 that's giving rise to this error. I can offer more tests & information if someone is able to tell me what else I should investigate! Fingers crossed ;) -- Best regards, James.

I meant an older Wine. Yes, I still have the RPMs for that one, and the one before (both worked), so I can go back. It just seemed to me that maybe I was doing something wrong that could be simply fixed and then I would be better using the most up-to-date because the last one I had was from March '03, that's all. I'll go back to an older version if I need to. In the meantime I'll see if I can make the current one work, and maybe I will be able to give someone some extra helpful feedback if they need it. -- Best regards, James.
