Greetings humans, first post alert.
I've used the search to no avail...I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on an AMD64.
I have Wine version 1.1.22, and it seems to have installed ok. I can run
winecfg no problem, and also notepad from the applications menu, which is really
the only test I know how to do.
I've got a piece of software called PL/SQL Developer, which is in the apps
db and looks to work. I've also seen on their user forum where people have
it working, no problem. But when I try to install, I get this:
Code:
cnelson at pcda5561:~/Desktop$ wine plsqldev715.exe
wine: Cannot start DOS application
"E:\\home\\cnelson\\Desktop\\plsqldev715.exe"
because vm86 mode is not supported on this platform.
cnelson at pcda5561:~/Desktop$
It looks like I'm not the only person to have this issue in wine, but I
haven't found much (any?) documentation on how to resolve it. Your help is
appreciated.

Your kernel lacks vm86 support. Try on a 32-bit OS. -- -Austin

So what is really causing this, then?

Possibly a problem with my particular configuration?
well update manager downloaded some new wine stuff today, so I decided to give
it a shot. Yay, a new set of errors.

wine: configuration in '/home/cnelson/.wine' has been updated.
wine: Cannot start DOS application

because vm86 mode is not supported on this platform.
Does this shed any more light on the situation for anyone?

Got it...tell me though, if my neighbor has this app working in wine (different processor on 32 bit Ubuntu), can I just replace his my .wine folder with his? This is my only wine app, currently.

x86_64 kernels do not support vm86 mode because CPUs do not support vm86 in x86_64 mode. As simple as that.
I'm already installed & running, but per the app developer: "The installer is a normal 32 bit application." For those interested, my parallel discussion on their forum: http://www.allroundautomations.com/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=34141#Post34141
