When i am at the make install stage of installing wine, i get this error when it finishes.
*************************************************
*************************************************
The installed Wine libraries will not be found!
You can either:
Add the line '/usr/local/lib' to /etc/ld.so.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

[root@THOMS wine-20030911]#

How do I fix this? (if you need what it displays before this , tell me)

type this when you are done with make install

ok, done that. it did this:
[root@THOMS wine-20030911]# ldconfig
[root@THOMS wine-20030911]#

Just about to test wine... Do you know how , the only other things i've installed are the packages to install wine..

type as easy as that

Do i have to be in a paticlar directory?

EDIT: just tried just "Wine" and it gave me this:
[root@THOMS wine-20030911]# wine
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
[root@THOMS wine-20030911]#

What next?

in the directory were the exe file is

have you seen my edit ? scrool up.

try to do as the error say:
and tell me if that work

Doesn't sound like you added the correct directory listing to the appropriate file.

Add the line '/usr/local/lib' to /etc/ld.so.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib


Check out the file /etc/ld.so.conf and look for /usr/local/lib. If its not there, add it, then run /sbin/ldconfig again.

or

If you're to lazy to edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file, or maybe don't have root access, you can just type export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib, assuming you're using the bash shell.

Just typed export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib in konsole, got this :
[jordanthoms@THOMS etc]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
[jordanthoms@THOMS etc]$

Note :there was no line break after export

Has it worked ? (if so, what do I do next?)

after you do that try to run a windows exe in the same Konsole window and see what happens.

Why does it have to be in the same Konsole window. I can't run things through konsole (when i type the name as it appears when i do a dir it says no such command or something like that) I have set them to open with wine when i dobble click on them, but nothing happens.

If the problem you are having with konsole is when you try to switch to directory whose name has a space on for example a directory in my home directory is called My Docs to switch to that directory I do "cd My\ Docs"no that before every space a have to put a backward slash. hope you get the idea as you can see I'm not an english speaker

Sorry, i just fixed my problem by installing off my Mandrake Cd. I should've tried it earlier but i did not know it was there...

Can you install proggys with Wine?
