Hello,

I was trying to open windows .exe file one Linux and jdkaye told me that i can try to use wine to do that.
Now the host installed wine for me and it should be working now, But when i try to open my file i get that msgs :-

Quote:

[root@server ~]# wine spotter.exe
wine: created the configuration directory '/root/.wine'
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window

wine: configuration in '/root/.wine' has been updated.
wine: Install Mono 2.8 or greater for Windows to run .NET 4.0 applications.

So i searched to install Mono 2.8 or greater for Windows to run .NET 4.0 applications and found that link to guide me :-

But on the setp before installing it i got that Error :-

Post #2 marks the thread as answered : Your question will not appear any more.

Please start here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Ask_a_Question
http://linuxsilo.net/docs/smart-questions_en.html
I.e. you are supposed to tell which Linux OS you are using.
Like CentOS 6 - 32bit, Fedora 18 - 64bit, Slackware 14, etc.

Your errors : Wine will not run as root.
Applications are not supposed to run as root.

Mono : Please see the "Package install documentation" for your OS.
It's like # yum install mono* ; Or # apt-get install mono-2.0-devel

Building applications (mono) :
The build prerequisites must be installed beforehand.
"Development Tools", "build-essential", etc.
(No gcc/g++, no autotools/libtool etc. means you cannot compile anything.)
