[SOLVED] Error running programs with wine

ahc_fan · 08-26-2015, 06:31 AM

I tried installing directx9, with 'winetricks directx9', and I get the error below. It also happens whenever I try to run any EXE with wine. I use Slackware 14.1 and 'slackpkg file-search libXext' shows that this package(libXext-1.3.2-x86_64-1) is installed.

My wine version is 1.7.33, the newest version I could find a package for. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get to resolve this.

The error:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winex11.drv": libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
err:user:load_desktop_driver failed to load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winex11.drv"
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
The explorer process failed to start.

I appears the version I have is a development version. I'm going to try the stable release for slackware from the winehq website. I'll report back if anything changes.

Edit: No change. Here is the full output:

Try the version from AlienBob's repository and watch if the problem persists: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/wine/

That's the one that was giving the error. I also tried the slackware package from winehq and same deal.

Is your Slackware system a full installation or did you leave out packages during the installation?
Also, have you tried to compile a package yourself, using AlenBob's Slackbuild script?

ahc_fan · 08-27-2015, 05:41 AM

Yes I chose the full installation and updated everything via slackpkg.

I tried the slack build as well. Running it as is tells me I need 32-bit build tools in order to proceed. I tried passing --enable-win64 to configure and it ran all the way through without errors and I was even able to download and install stuff with winetricks, but whenever I run an EXE I get this "bad EXE format" error. I'm not really familiar with building software from source so I haven't delved much further into this...

You do need to switch your system to a multilib system for Wine to work, it needs the 32 bit stuff.

Found this: http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib

Got it working now, thanks!
