i installed wine, and copied their sample config file to my .wine directory, and then i typed the following command:
Code:
wine notepad.exe
and it returns with this error:
Code:
err:module:load_builtin_dll
failed to load .so
lib for builtin
L"x11drv.dll": libXxf86dga.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
wine: Could not load graphics driver 'x11drv'.
i have XFree config right, and i'm running the GUI while i'm typing this command. Is this a problem with the dll that wine is trying to use, or do i have something misconfiged?
i download winetools, and did a wine notepad.exe again and got this error this time:
Code:

I've just tried 'wine notepad.exe' in my december2004 wine, and all seems to work. I ask stupid q: have you installed wine by wine tools? I don't know how it's made in newer wines, but my december's had its installer, it was in "dir where I extracted archive"\tools and it was called 'wineinstall' (a script). By the way: try VMware, all win32 apps (except games?) work under it (after you install windows there, of course )
i'm just testing wine with notepad, because i want to start using it for other apps,
but i figure notepad would be a good program to start out to see if i have wine configured right
djgerbavore,
You should ALWAYS use sources instead of rpm and other s**t. Cuz it'll be build depending to your system.
For configuring read README in the dir where you extracted wine...
vegetassj2, great
