Hi ,I've gotta few probs getting wine to fuction properly on this machine. running mandrake 10.0 Comunity Kernel 2.6.3-15mdk 1. The font is semi italic and difficult to read, screen res set to 1152x864. I set up wine on a friends machine and the file manager looked exactly the same as if he was running windows. Checking the version I get this > [root@g8jvm /]# wine --version Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system" is not accessible. Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/', starting in the Windows directory. Wine 20040716 And if I try to start a prog , this > Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system" is not accessible . Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/richard', starting in the Windows directory. wine: cannot open (null) [root@g8jvm richard]# su richard [richard@g8jvm richard]$ wine Echolink Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system" is not accessible . Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/richard', starting in the Windows directory. wine: cannot open (null) That occurs as root or user. Could someone please point me in the right direction, remember you had to start somewhere. The good thing I found on my friends machine was that wine seems to be the only emulator that can cope with VoIP props written for windows without screwing up the sampling clock . NICE :) TIA Richard

Did you set up the ~/.wine/config file so it points to some real drives. Or make the symlinks in ~/.wine/dosdevices?> > From: Richard <richard.bown@blueyonder.co.uk> > Date: 2004/08/13 Fri PM 02:37:48 GMT > To: wine-users <wine-users@winehq.com> > Subject: [Wine]config question > > Hi ,I've gotta few probs getting wine to fuction properly on this machine. > running mandrake 10.0 Comunity Kernel 2.6.3-15mdk > Checking the version I get this > > [root@g8jvm /]# wine --version > Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\windows" is not accessible. > Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system" is not > accessible. > Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/', > starting in the Windows directory. > Wine 20040716 > > And if I try to start a prog , this > > Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\windows" is not accessible. > Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system" is not > accessible . > Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory > '/home/richard', starting in the Windows directory. > wine: cannot open (null) > [root@g8jvm richard]# su richard > [richard@g8jvm richard]$ wine Echolink > Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\windows" is not accessible. > Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system" is not > accessible . > Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory > '/home/richard', starting in the Windows directory. > wine: cannot open (null) > > That occurs as root or user. > Could someone please point me in the right direction, remember you had > to start somewhere. > The good thing I found on my friends machine was that wine seems to be > the only emulator that can cope with VoIP props written for windows > without screwing up the sampling clock . > NICE :) > > TIA > Richard > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users@winehq.org > http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users >
Many thanks to all who replied. My /etc/wine/config file was empty, I had'nt checked the dosdrives file in my home directory. As I could'nt find a wine-utils to match the July release I've gone back to 20040213 until it all works. The next problem was a missing x server, so thats now fixed, and echolink is running. Albeit with this not so nice looking font. I've tried changing screen res , but this has no effect. Its sorta upper case italic and small so not easy to read...ideas ?? Thanks Richard
