Hi

I'v been searching the forums for the problem to solve the error=21 problem with some exe's using wine/winex with no help for slack.
All of them refer to fedora or whatever and turning off prelinking etc.

Slackware does not have the program prelink. Or its dependency elfutils.
I found one post showing howto do it in slackware but that was a failure.

A while back I was able to actually get prelink and elfutils installed (since they won't compile for me) by using the rpms and rpm2tgz but the howto on turning it off dosen't work, I edited the files and ran the prelink -ua. (if thats correct) but still no luck.

Another thing, if slackware dosen't have prelink to begin with , ie nothing to turn off because it wasen't turned on in the first place then why am I getting the error=21?

Does anyone have any clue of how to fix this in a slackware specific way?

thanks

I am having the same problem and can't seem to find a solution for this either.

I figured there would be quite a few of us with the same problem.

I just reinstalled 9.1 and now im not getting the error as of now. Im assuming all the updated libs in Slack 10 could be the reason for the error=21, but im no expert.

Thats not what I want though, i'd like to be able to use Slack 10 and wine/winex

Hopefully someone more informed than me will chime in with the golden answer

Well cedega works fine with Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, and Battlefiled 1942,, but it was when I tried to use it for the UT2k4 Windows demo is when I got the error. I know theres a Linux version, but a buddy runs linux and already has the Window's version, so I was going to see how it ran.

Well I got it to work. I ran cedega with the -bigexe flag, and it worked. I didn't even know that was one of the commands, I just accidently(sp?) type in cedega by itself and noticed that was one of the options. Let me know if it works for you.

As soon as I get DSL in a couple more days (from southwestern bell) im going to download the Slack 10 iso instead of using my swaret packages and see. Then i'll have to sign up for transgaming agian since I only have an older version of 3.

Hopefully it will work. I'd really like to play Postal 2: STP. I know its not supported by transgaming and a linux version is coming out but i'v read on the old transgaming forums that it can be done and I don't want to shell out 30 more dollars for a product I bought a few months ago for the same price.
I wonder if LinuxGamePublishing (I belive thats it) is going to release a free client for the people who already own the original game data. Probably not but I can hope. I know thats a little off subject but i'v always wondered that about companies who port games late after they have already been released for other platforms. I looked on the sites for postal/lgp and seen no information on this.

Anyways, when I test the bigexec flag out i'll update and let you know.

Alright cool.

Sir !
Had this error since i upgraded to kernel 2.4.28 [from 2.4.20] ,Debian 3.0 pc system.
i did this to solve an usb/mp3player 'issue', which it did.
Seems they changed the vfat filesystem code [my wine c: disk is a real win95 vfat partiton],
with the unnoticed effect of wine failing with the above errors at once.
There is probably a very simple remedy , but since i know nothing about whats going on ,
i installed 2 kernel versions and choose the appropriate one when booting.

Yours truly.

PS
I found a 2 year old bug-description in winehq.com [bug 311]:
seems to me the simple remedy was to alter the type of the windows system
in .wine/config from "hd" to "floppy".
I did this today and i can use my old wine release with the new vfat code of kernel 2.4.28 !
