Code: sh winetricks gfw does not work under regular user; only under root ( Code: sudo sh winetricks gfw ). What have i tried: * wiping ~/.wine preffix directory * creating new user in the system with clean ~/ home directory * applying winetricks volnum and winetricks sandbox * different versions of wine; from 1.2 to 1.3.15 * switching from 64-hybrid system to 32-vanilla one * switching from gentoo to debian Nothing helped. gfw installs only under root; under other users folowing pastes are yielded: http://pastey.net/146869 http://pastey.net/146868 and this message is displayed: [Image: ftp://neverb.net/images/special/screenshot/gfwfail.png ]

Tried to wipe ~/.cache too, same result - it is not working for user.
Yes, there is a separate cache per user. Please try with http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha and if it still happens, get a log with -v and post a link to it here.
Here the output of user at user /home/soft/winetrics $ rm -rf ~/.wine/ user at user /home/soft/winetrics $ rm -rf ~/.cache/ user at user /home/soft/winetrics $ WINEARCH=win32 ./winetricks-alpha -v gfw &>debug_winetricks_gfw ftp://neverb.net/soft/questions/wine-gfw/debug_winetricks_gfw.bz2

Probably some mmaping with special sharing modes. perryh wrote:> Meanwhile, would something like this work? > $ ln -s /var/wine/$USER/.wine ~No, this won't work. Wine won't allow wineprefix be a symlink. But you can repoint Wine to a different one with 'export WINEPREFIX=/var/wine/$USER/.wine'. See faq for more options.
