I just did a fresh install of Mandrake 10 PP, and installed cedega and p2p. Both worked fine in mandrake 9 with my games (CoD, GTA III, ViceCity).

But since I reinstalled, CoD (which I installed with the Loki installer, no errors on install) gives me the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Now, I also installed (again, with the Loki installer) MOAHH, and it works great. GTA works great through P2P. I added winex, winex4, and cedega to the WINE_NAME in the codsp script. All to no avail.

Anyone have an idea? I would much appreciate it...

I had the same error many times when I tried to use WineX CVS a month back or so. I searched around these forums for a long while and finally came across something that helped - I can't give credit to its original poster because I saved it without the usernames, but this is what he said:
After I did both of those, that error would go away - however a new one about "wineserver-localhost/socket: No such file or directory" came up - I gave up with WineX CVS after that. Just using vanilla wine now and it serves my purposes well. Good luck with Cedega though - it ought to be better than the CVS.

Hmmm. Well, thanks for the info. I ran ldconfig, but I have no ld.so.config file at all it would seem.

The thing that gets me is other wine games run fine! it's gotta be a game thing, but I'll be damned as to what.

maybe I should give up and install SUSE...

Well, I just checked my own config (on Mdk 9.2) and it looks like the file name is not ld.so.config but just ld.so.conf (sorry) - and if that file doesn't exist either, it might work if you just create it.
Here is all mine is:
And its owner is root.
I don't think it'd be much different on Mandrake 10 -maybe the only thing different would be the line about qt - you could check in your /usr/lib directory to see what qt's path is (b/c for my fedora core 2 system it is /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib).

It could even be that you don't need the first two lines at all for getting the game to work - maybe just the /usr/lib/wine line.

that was MUCH more helpfull. Thank you! I actually had to add the full path to cedega:
/home/phydeaux/.point2play/.winex_ver/winex-4.0-1/winex/bin/

but the libntdll.so error went away. Now I'm getting a libwine.so. so I can try and track THAT down. But again, making forward progress. Thanks again!

OK, I also added lines for ALL the winex lib paths, lib and pthread_lib. Now, I get a real interesting error:

can't create key_t for shm: No such file or directory
wineserver: chdir /home/phydeaux/.wine : No such file or directory

interesint...ja?

Since you are using Mandrake, why not just URPMI WINE? It automatically installed, updated, and configured my Wine.

Will that step on cedega? Or alter it? Cause I also use P2P and don't want that buggered up...

Wine is installed in it's own directory separate from Cedega so they won't step on each other. Same for WineX. They are all on on seperate directories.

OK, I did install Wine. Then I got an error about Unable to find the drive. So in my .wine/config I setup a new drive that was the directory that CoD lived in, and behold! All is (pretty)well. The only issue is the task bar overlaps the game, but if I shade the task bar the game runs perfectly. Much thanks to all who helped with this!!
