Hi, I have been a a wine user for a quite long time, for Microsoft Money 2002 first, and World of Warcraft then. Recently, I found in a lost cardboard many "old" games, and tried to play them again (only original CDs, so for each try I had to patch the games with latest version of course). First Heroes of Might and Magic II, marked as gold on appdb : I was unable to run it, I get strange memory errors ( see http://pastebin.com/m78209ada for this particular example). I tried Civilization II : Test of Time, and I get similar errors. Same problem with Civilization III, and a few other games I tried... Since I run on a amd64 kernel (Gentoo + latest wine version), I'd like to know if there are compatibility problems known with this architecture ? I remember ths was the case in the past, but I thought this was not the case nowadays ? If anyone has a clue... Thanks !

That's because wine in a gentoo 64bit userland will not compile with native support for ODBC using unixODBC, since the 32bit version is not available. Will have to wait for portage to have true multilib support, but again, that's completely unrelated to your main problem, and is more of a head's up if you try to run anything requiring ODBC under wine. You've already got a response on the main issue you're having so I won't repeat it here. Happy gentoo'ing :-) -- Darragh "Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool."
