wine users - Dec 2003 - Problem with latest MDK package

Hi folks,

This is probably a stupidly simple question, but its got me stumped.

I just installed the latest MDK package for wine
(wine-20031118-mdk.i586) to update the one that shipped with MDK 9.2
(wine-20030813-1mdk.i586).

Now, when I try and run wine I get

wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

libwine.so.1 is in /usr/lib/wine and I've run ldconfig after the package
install, but still no joy.

I then did export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/wine
and got passed that problem for the moment, but now got errors about no being
able
to stat directories listed in .wine/config.

I found that it hand the path to wine as /var/lib/wine instead of now
/usr/lib/wine
so I edited that and had to hard code the directories with ${HOME} and ${USER}
in them
but I'm still getting

Invalid path L"C:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does
not exist.
Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine configuration file
(/home/pnunn/.wine/config)

Under /usr/lib/wine, there is no windows directory, so I'm guessing the
message is correct, but I don't have  a clue how to fix it.

Any ideas what's going on here?  The install also un-installed several
other packages (not sure which ones though, good aren't I??) that I
probably need to re-install too.

It also removed the menu icons for wine and left XWine not functioning
too (guess that's because wine doesn't work though).

Thanks heaps.

Peter Nunn.

Run
winesetup
use the overwrite option, it will create a new and working config.
The RPM adds /usr/lib/wine to your library path and runs ldconfig for you.

This is strange, can you let me know what packages?

This is very very strange, the RPM doesn't do anything menu related at all.
