Hey everyone,

I've just installed crossover pro 5.0 and i'm getting this error message, "Unable to convert 'c:/' to a Unix path" or "wine: failed to initialize: /opt/cxoffice/lib/wine/ntdll.so: failed to map segment from shared object: cannot allocate memory". I went to the crossover support site and here's what they told me to do. "To correct this issue, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/ulimit and make sure that both HARDVIRTUALLIMIT and SOFTVIRTUALLIMIT are set to 0. You have to be root to do this but the advantage is that it works for all users on that machine." I logged on to root and look for hardvirtualimit and softvirtualimit, but I could not find it. Are these file located in the crossover folder? thanks

Those aren't files; those are settings that they want you to put in the /etc/sysconfig/ulimit file. ulimit should be a text configuration file in /etc/sysconfig; they want you to edit the HARDVIRTUALLIMIT and SOFTVIRTUALLIMIT entries in the ulimit file so they are set to 0.

First see if there is a ulimit file in /etc/sysconfig. If it's there, open the file with a text editor and see what's in it. ulimit sets the number of files you can have open at one time. You can see what your current ulimit is set at by opening a concole and running:

$ ulimit
