I've tried to install wine, it used to work fine, I'm not sure what I have changed to make it no longer work, but this is what happens if I try to run it.

wine: creating configuration directory '/home/brett/.wine'...

I don't think that's enough information to determine the problem, but where should I look to find out, is there a log file or anything I can check. I'm running slackware 10.2 and I compiled wine from source. I've also tried installing a slackware package of it with the same results.

Dude, I'm having the exact same problem! I did exact same thing (install from source). Hmm, wonder what's wrong.

same here, using mandriva official 2006.0 32bit.

i've tried old packages, and new. both rpm and source. nothing gets it going...

i'm looking for this myselve. if i find anything, i'll post.

There was a thread about this on the
usenet group comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine
on Aug 20th, and a long thread about it on
the Puppy Linux forums, for what it's worth.
Someone there reported that wine-0.9.18 didn't
have the problem.
If you find out more, or for more help,
please post to the wine-users mailing list at winehq.org.

I think I had the problem with 9.18,9.19, and just tried 9.20 and have the same problem. It used to work fine with I believe 9.18 and then it just got screwed up one day.

On Ubuntu I had to install GTK 1.2 first.

1.2? Thats really old isn't it? Why would you need that?

I know there is something wrong with my system, I have errors when trying to compile alot of programs, I don't know how to find out what I'm missing, or is installed wrong though, ./configure never gives me any errors that I can see.

could be the gtk yes. i've got gtk2 now and it won't work. and i can recall having to install gtk1.2 when wine actually worked. i'll check on that. but give me about a week or so.

So how would I go about installing two different versions of GTK? How will wine know which one to use?

just simple pluggin which are meant to be for fedora core 5..they will solve your problem

I didn't understand the last post, could you please explain? What plugin?
