I'm having some difficulty getting Wine to work (some may be an understatement).
My system is:
AMD XP 2700+
768Mb Ram
NVidia Geforce 128Mb Graphics
Dual boot SuSe 9.2 and Windoze 98
My first problem came with the version of wine installed straight off the install dvd. It failed with the error
Code:
wine: unable to create process heap
(or something similar anyway).
I managed to fix this by switching to WineX (CVS version). For a while I got the error
Code:
wine: exists lstat socket: no such file or directory
This was fixed by downloading a subtly different version (using a download and autocompile script I found whilst googling). Now I get the error:
Code:
matt@cat:~> cvswinex notepad.exe
err:module:map_image Could not map section .text, file probably truncated
fixme:font:get_nearest_charset returning DEFAULT_CHARSET face->fsCsb[0] = 00000000 file = /windows/c/windows/fonts/vgasys.fon
err:module:map_image Could not map section .text, file probably truncated
err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\windows\system\l3codeca.acm failed, check this file ! (GetLastError 193)
/usr/lib/cvswinex/bin/wine: can't exec 'notepad.exe': error=21
fixme:xrender:X11DRV_XRender_Finalize Free cached glyphsets
Apparently this has something to do with the kernel, but all the fixes I've seen are for Fedora. I've tried the ones that are relevant (some relate to things that just don't exist under SuSe), but it doesn't make much difference.
As the inability to run windoze programs (well, games really) under Linux is the only thing stopping me formatting my windoze partitions and subsuming them into my linux ones, I would appeal to you, the good people of the linux community, for help in this matter.
Many thanks.
