Error when trying to run wine: "/usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory"

Lolwhut · 02-07-2010, 10:35 PM

Hello, I have a fresh install of Slackware 13 AMD64 (also installed slapt-get, changed passwords, set default wm to xfce, etc..), and today I tried to install the Slackware port of Wine from WineHQ.org, and the install succeeded. When I tried to run it

Code:

wine

It returned

Code:

/usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory

I am not sure why this is happening, as it worked on my 32-bit systems. My $PATH variable is this:

Code:

bash-3.1# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

Thank you, and any help would be greatly appreciated. If needed, here is what was shown while installing wine:

Code:

bash-3.1# installpkg wine-1.1.29-i486-1kjz.tgz 
Verifying package wine-1.1.29-i486-1kjz.tgz.

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
# WINE - Wine Is Not an Emulator
#
# Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of
# X and Unix; it is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs.
# Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free
# alternative implementation of the Windows API.  However, Wine can
# optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available.  Wine
# provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code
# to Unix, as well as a program loader to run Windows applications.

Executing install script for wine-1.1.29-i486-1kjz.tgz.
Package wine-1.1.29-i486-1kjz.tgz installed.

Also, all the files are there. They are just not being recognized. "ls /usr/bin/wine*" shows the files are there.

Code:

bash-3.1$ ls /usr/bin/wine*

Just be aware there is no dependency checking in slackware. Are all the dependencies installed? Try this:
cd /usr/bin && ldd wine
Check if all the libs are in sight. Also run winecfg. It needs a configuration to start. It finds your disk, you set basic options about how it plays with your hardware, and which version of windows it pretends to be.

I tried to run "ldd wine" but it returned:

Code:

bash-3.1# cd /usr/bin && ldd wine
                   not a dynamic executable

I did chmod +x on all of them aswell, but it did not change anything. Also, if I try to run winecfg, it returns:

Code:

line 29: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
line 29: /usr/bin/wine: Success

Might building wine on the actual system fix this? Or will it be the same as installing the wine package.

I'm on slamd64-12.2 (=64 bit slackware before there was one, if you get me).

Code:

bash-3.1$ ldd /usr/bin/wine
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7f41000)
	libwine.so.1 => /usr/lib/libwine.so.1 (0xf7e05000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7dee000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7ca1000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7c9d000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f42000)

Try ls -l /usr/bin/wine.
It might be a symlink to /opt/somewhere/wine or the like. This seems like your problem. Follow this to the executable, and try ldd on that.

JimBrewster · 02-09-2010, 08:42 AM

Try running these commands:

Code:

ls /var/log/packages/ | grep wine

..to find the full package name.
Then:

Code:

less /var/log/packages/[full package name]

..to see all the files that were installed.
That should show you the path to the wine executable. If it's somewhere in /opt you might need to add it to your $PATH variable. If it's in /usr/local/bin it should be in your $PATH. Run 'echo $PATH' to be sure...

I do believe I have found what I need to do. I need to set up a multilib environment if I am reading correctly. I will edit this post if I succeed.

I have this same problem. I am running Slackware 13 64-bit, and installed their txz package from sourceforge.

Brief 32/64 bit howto.

Except for Debian & clones, 32bit = /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, etc
64bit = /usr/lib64
Debian uses /usr/lib32 & /usr/lib respectively.
Wine is usually compiled 32 bit, and needs/uses 32 bit libs, because windows programs in the main are 32 bit

Code:

bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory

i run a 64bit Slackware with AlineBOB's multilib and compat32 packages

Everything worked just like a charm
All of sudden wine started spewing the above message ???

All searches for Slackware lead to unsolved threads, how come?

so i fiddled a while and found that regular system update broke my multilib (wine64 worked FWIW)

all i had to do is to seek the multilib packages (i use gslapt on top of slapt-get)

I found they where not installed anymore?

After installing them back, i got wine run 32bit again

No wonder it wouldn't

So this thread can be taged as [SOLVED] (it took a while though)
