Question about wine

Xiangbuilder · 06-28-2003, 08:14 AM

I have seleted "everthing' during install Redhat 7.2,
I can see the words "starting wine" appears during Redhat start,

[root@xiang root]# find / -name 'wine' -print
/etc/rc.d/init.d/wine
/usr/bin/wine
/usr/lib/wine
/usr/include/wine
/usr/include/wine/wine
[root@xiang root]#

I turn on " view hidden file" option.
But there is no "wine" folder.
Does this means wine has been installed on my OS?
Thank you.

well wine seems to show up in several places where it would have installed to what does it say when you use "wine -v" ?

Thank you.
[root@xiangbuilder root]# wine -v
wineserver: chdir /root/.wine : No such file or directory.

well if wine was installed wiht redhat then it is probly an old version and you dont want it anyways, you might want to try rpm -e winepackagename or else try going into /usr/include/wine and type make uninstall then download a new version fo wine and install that, usually when wine is packaged with a distro then by the time the end user gets it it is outdated/broken

Thank you, I download Wine-20030618.tar.gz and install it.
But now, when I try to run it,
[root@xiangbuilder root]# wine /mnt/c/Builder/Winrar/Rar.exe
wine: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/wine/libntdll.so: undefined symbol: casemap_lower

That's wierd. I'd guess Red Hat had wierd packaging policies for Wine back then. It shouldn't be starting anything at boot time.

Try installing the latest red hat versions if possible, OR compile wine from the source tarballs.

Wine doesn't work as root (it is still an alpha release...). Better log in as user before starting it. My version (1/2 years old) gives an error, when started by root.
