WINE issues: configuration, installation, etc

D10|\/|3|)3$ · 12-04-2004, 10:59 AM

I apparently installed WINE through the RPM called "wine-20041201-1fc3winehq.i386.rpm". Now, I really do not have much experience with RPMs, so I am completely lost, because whenever I enter "wine" or something in a terminal, it comes up with stuff about not being configured properly. Does anyone know what is wrong, and/or how to fix it?

Thanks,
Diomedes

Once you have the wine rpm installed open a shell window and type winecfg. It will create the directory structure you need, however, you have to actually edit the configuration file manually inside the .wine directory. The only thing I changed was set it to emulate winxp.

Hm... Alright, got it. But now it is giving me this whenever I enter "wine" at a terminal:

[root@localhost root]# wine
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OK, never mind. I fixed that, but WINE is not detecting my Windows installation. I do not know if that is what is causing this, but when I try to load something from on eof my Windowes partitions, it says it cannot locate the target. How do I change this?

Ok, i honestly don't know, I'm extraodinarily new, but maybe u could make a symbolic link from ur wine_c in ur .wine folder to ur mounted windows partition's c drive. I don't know, I haven't tried it yet.

Has anyone figured out this problem? Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I am having the same problem as |)10|\/|... Well, that one guy. Sorry, but that name is extraordinarily hard to type.
