Problem with wine trying to launch a window

Freex · 10-09-2006, 05:03 PM

Hi!
I've just installed wine on my new linux distro, Mandriva Linux 2007.0 (x86_64). It's installed all right, but whenever wine tries to launch a window, I get this error message

Any ideas anyone??? I've tried downloading and installing from different sources and in different ways, but all with the same effect. Running command-line windows programs seems to be no problem ...

Edit: I copied the libXxf86vm.so.1 file from /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib and now wine finds the libary, but it gives me the following error:

Quote:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winex11.drv": libXxf86vm.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

I though wine worked all right in 64 bit operating systems???

instead of coping the file over there try and just link it. by copying it over there may be permissions issue with the file.

Nope, it has nothing to do with the permissions, it's just that wine expected a 32bit version of that libary instead of a 64 bit version. Just to be sure I changed the permissions to full access for everyone, but to no avail.I think i'll try finding the 32bit version somewhere and pasting it in the directory

Try it. Whats the worst that could happen.

I fixed it! I just went ahead and installed crossover office and suddenly it all runs smoothly.Thank you for your help

edit: wine still doesn't work ... but now at least I can run some windows apps

I'm having the exact problem described in the first post. Also, I get the error

Code:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winex11.drv": libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winex11.drv": libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when I try to install some MSI package with

Code:

msiexec /i program.msi

Freex, what version of CrossOver did you install and where did you get it from?

Crossover office can be purchased from http://www.codeweavers.com/

Also the errors is saying that it can't find the specified file on your system which the file it is refering to is libXxf86vm.so.1

The above file is part of xlib-dev package.
