Hey everyone,

I installed Slackware 13.0 64bit on my system and wine comes as default.

All files are there but wine stil does not work.

bash-3.1$ winecfg
/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: Success

I looked around and this problem has been reported by other people as well but none are solved.

Any suggestions ?

checkout whether it has proper path or not !

Similar problem was found in LQ, seems to be solved . see this thread

bash-3.1# whereis wine
wine: /usr/bin/wine /usr/lib/wine /usr/X11R6/bin/wine /usr/bin/X11/wine /usr/X11/bin/wine /usr/include/wine /usr/share/wine /usr/man/man1/wine.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/wine.1.gz /usr/X11/man/man1/wine.1.gz

I read that post and it is not solved.

May be just uninstall it and install again?

WHat do you mean by uninstall ? remove all wine related stuff ? I do not see where this can come handy since installing official tgz for package just extracts the necessary files to various locations.

That sounds like a Windows solution....Have you had experience fixing WINE (or any Linux) issues in this way?

since everything in Linux is a file, we can not talk about an installation process here. In windows there is is registry and other etc but there is no such crap in linux.Only file copy oeprations to locations.

manually set your wine path.
go to your home folder
$vi .bashrc
WINE=/usr/lib/wine
export PATH=$WINE:$PATH

bash-3.1$ WINE=/usr/lib/wine
bash-3.1$ export PATH=$WINE:$PATH
bash-3.1$ wine
bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
bash-3.1$ winecfg
/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: Success


No luck :/

So---where IS wine installed?

If it is on your computer, this will find it:

run this as root--or with sudo

@t3st ; you are relaying on default installation. If it has problems then
Make a fresh installation of latest wine.

files are there with necessary permissions and they are copied from the latest release.

/usr/bin/wine seems to be there.

Is it executable? what do you get when you type 'ls -l /usr/bin/wine'?

bash-3.1# ls -l /usr/bin/wine
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6900 2010-03-15 01:33 /usr/bin/wine
bash-3.1# whoami
root
bash-3.1# wine
bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory

This is crazy
