Ok, Guys. I just installed wine and did a whereis and it is installed. When I try to run the command I get this error:

[root@localhost /]# wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe
Segmentation fault


Any ideas what is wrong because I have no clue. I am a newbie at Red Hat 9.0 right now. Thanks for the help

worked hours on this and get the same error. Any ideas guys?

Does wine work on other programs? It could be a problem with the setup.exe you're trying to run.

What version of wine did you install? (type wine --version) Newer ones tend to be less buggy than old ones.

edit: You also probably do not want to be running wine as root. Wine is not quite stable, and many Windows/DOS programs are not quite stable either, so running as a normal user will help to minimize the damage it can cause

Wine does not work at all. everytime I do something I get the error mentioned in the above post. I cant figure out what is wrong?

post your config file for us
/home/user/.wine/

"user is the name of the user account of course"

copy the config file and let us take a look

I cant seem to get the wine config up with that command.

Now it says cant not find winesetuptk but I have downloaded that and installed it and I still cant get it to work

this is the complete error:

[amdmhz@localhost bin]$ winelauncher winesetup

many applications will fail silently.

Segmentation fault

Go into the folder where you first untar the program. it should be there. Use the cp statement and move it to the .wine folder.

This is what I get when I cp winesetup where it is suppose to go:

[amdmhz@localhost bin]$ wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe
Segmentation fault
[amdmhz@localhost bin]$ whereis winesetup
winesetup: /usr/bin/winesetup.sh

I messed around with it a little and put winesetup.sh in the /usr/local/bin. When I try to install something with the wine command I get this:

[root@localhost bin]# wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe
wine: relocation error: wine: undefined symbol: wine_init_argv0_path
[root@localhost bin]#

By the way guys, Thank you very much for trying to help me figure this out. I really appreciate it. Take care

still getting this error
