This error occurs when a file or directory cannot be found. Note, this can happen when creating a file if one of the parent directories doesn't exist, eg:
touch /etc/doesnotexist/foo
will complain with "No such file or directory" since /etc/doesnotexist does not exist.
This error can be returned by many system calls that work with files.

That didn't work either.

bash-3.1# /home/john/wine
bash: /home/john/wine: No such file or directory

At this point I think I would be better off starting from scratch. I am going to install wine and the one program I use, Quicken, on another computer that is running 32 Slack. Not my main computer but it will work for this.
Thank you for your patience and your help. It could all be that somewhere in installing multilib I messed up something. But, on the bright side I did learn something new about strace, I have never used it before. Got to get out of the gui more.
Last question, please.
Change directory to: cd /home/john/ or to /usr/bin and then in console type:
file wine
What will be the output.
Mine is:
wine: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
Distribution: Kernel Linux 3.6-4.slh.1-aptosid-amd64

It will work but not perfectly. I had it installed and everything worked well but I had problems with a hard drive and had to reinstall Slackware and then I ran into problems when I added wine. It worked after I installed it but after I rebooted the computer it quick working. That is why I decided to just put it on an older 32 bit machine running slackware 13-32. At this point it is more trouble than it is worth. I will just wait until it is improved.
