My system: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Winchester core Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe 1 GB Corsair DDR-400 Nvidia 6600GT 128MB (2) 74 GB SATA WD Raptors I'm running gentoo with the 2.6.10-gentoo-r7 kernel. My root partition is on a linux software raid. Problem: After many hours of research I learned that I can't compile wine on my 64-bit platform, i have to download a precompiled binary for a 32-bit architecture and it will work. Well I downloaded "wine-20050111-1fc3winehq.i386.rpm" and installed it and when I run wine as a regular user, I get this error message: bash-2.05b$ wine wine: creating configuration directory '/home/webster/.wine'... wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger... err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x55cdff50 wine: wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/home/webster/.wine'. bash-2.05b$ wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/webster/.wine-HYxf2i/system.reg : No such file or directory wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/webster/.wine-HYxf2i/userdef.reg : No such file or directory wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/webster/.wine-HYxf2i/user.reg : No such file or directory I also have fedora core 3 on this system (on another software raid) and i installed the same rpm and got the same exact error message. I read someone created a 32-bit ebuild that is a miracle solution although I couldn't properly uninstall my rpm because i got this error message: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.58306: line 2: /sbin/chkconfig: No such file or directory error: %preun(wine-20050111-1fc3winehq) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 I installed that ebuild anyway and it didn't fix any problems. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get wine up and running? Thank you for your time, ben

Do the following: rm -Rf ~/.wine mkdir ~/.wine cd ~/.wine wget http://ds80-237-203-29.dedicated.hosteurope.de/wt/config.empty mv config.empty config cd ~ wine In short, you install my WineTools empty config and run Wine to create the right links and registry in .wine. After that you might use my config for running programs, that you can download at the WineTools site: http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/ Regards Joachim -- "Never touch a running system!

No solution yet :-) Pls. report if you find something. Sincerely, Gour -- Registered Linux User | #278493 GPG Public Key | 8C44EDCD
Is anyone else having problems with Joachim's posts. I am running set to GMT in the GMT timezone but his posts always seem to be stamped about 7 hours early. This means that often his replies are earlier than the post that elicited them. Geoff

The easiest way to solve this and all your next coming problems would be to use WineTools and perform the Base setup as I already recommended. Regards Joachim -- "Never touch a running system!
