Hmmm. just read that -- sounds scary:( |
ok first and foremost i noticed that the majority of people running redhat 9 and wine get that exact error ...
now somewheres on this board someone posted a temporary fix for this which i have no idea where it is at, but you can search the board, but on a final note, do not run wine as root... |
thx - but still no joy - I think I'll have to learn a lot more.
It would help my confidence if I could only get something to work using rpms. Oh well its down to patience and hard work I guess, but I'm not sure I'll kill windows just yet.:study: |
