Any AMD64 Sid users currently running Wine with Gecko support?


Posted this in another subforum, but starting to think it may be more related to the Sid package then anything and you guys may know better.

Im running an AMD64 version of Debian Sid. Wine runs windows apps fine, but when running an application for the first time like Steam, it asked to download gecko as an web browser engine.

Prettymuch the problem is, is that it doesnt work, web pages in steam dont load and I get an error when trying to display them.

doing "wine iexplore http://www.google.com" brings up the error "www.google.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again."

Is this some kind of current issue with the current version in Sid, or an AMD64 compatibility issue? (Unstable packages sometimes have issues, im cool with that) Or should it be working fine and there is something I may be able to do about it?

Thanks guys.

Problem solved, did alotta digging and found wine on x64 OS's require lib32nss-mdns, and Debian doesn't have it as a dependency so it doesn't auto install when apt installing Wine.

Still crash on some Steam game servers due to something they do in their web page (probably flash or something) but on most its fixed now.
