I recently upgraded from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9. Wine-0.9.58 was included. When I tried to run an already installed app, nothing happened. Wine configuration didn't run either. I examined the shell scripts in /usr/bin and found that winecfg, wineconsole, winedbg, winefile, and winemine all contained the same scripts, starting with "Wrapper script to start a Winelib application once it is installed". I tried uninstalling and reinstalling wine using both the add/remove software function and yum. I tried installing wine-1.0 and wine-0.9.60, but they wouldn't compile (failed with a segmentation fault). Has anybody else had problems with wine on FC9, and if so, did you get it to run, and if so, how?
Hi, 1) Are you on 64 bit or 32 bit? - For building wine on 64 bit, see http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit 2) Have you tried doing anything with a fresh ~/.wine? I'd try using the package from Fedora 9 with a fresh ~/.wine first and if that doesn't work, move on to building from source. I'm going to install Fedora 9 in VMWare and see I can get Wine to play nicely. -Zac rich16870 wrote:> I recently upgraded from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9. Wine-0.9.58 was included.

Zac, Thanks for the suggestion. I am running an Intel P4 duo at 3GHZ. I tried deleting the ~/.wine file and, lo and behold, wine configuration ran. So I reinstalled Powerpoint Viewer 2003; it started OK but then wouldn't open a .pps file (not a powerpoint file). I'll keep working on it now that I've gotten it started. I do need to look further into the bug about DOS memory ranges. As for the bug about wine-1.0-rc2 not compiling on FC9, I'll not worry about that unless I have to, since 0.9.58 looks like it will work. BTW, 0.9.60 didn't compile either.
