Hi there!
I'm trying to install wine(/wine-20020509) and i thought you could help me with the dependencies problem (I'm posting only the warnings and errors i got ).:
...............................................................................
./configure...
...............................................................................

*** Warning: the OpenGL version you have installed relies on libpthread for
*** thread-safety. To prevent crashes, OpenGL support has been removed.
*** A fix for glibc 2.1.3 that seems to work is included in this version of Wine,
*** start configure with '--enable-opengl' to force OpenGL support.

*** Note: Your system appears to have the FreeType 2 runtime libraries
*** installed, but 'freetype-config' is not in your PATH. Install the
*** freetype-devel package (or its equivalent on your distribution) to
*** enable Wine to use TrueType fonts.

..............................................................
This script verifies the configuration of the whole Wine environment.
Note that this is an ALPHA version, and thus it doesn't catch all problems !
The results of the checks are printed on the right side:
OK - test passed without problems.
SUSPICIOUS - potentially problematic. You might want to look into that.
BAD - This is a problem, and it leads to configuration score penalty.
CRITICAL - A critical problem which can easily lead to malfunction.
FAILED - This problem leads to Wine failure almost certainly.

The result will be printed as a percentage score indicating config completeness.


--------------------------- checking Wine base files ---------------------------
which: no wine in (/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/www/htdig/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:/usr/openwin/bin)
001. Checking for file "wine"... FAILED (file not found).
- ADVICE: Make sure the "wine" command is in your PATH (echo $PATH; export PATH=xxx).
readline() on closed filehandle CFGFILE at ./tools/winecheck line 497.
002. Checking for correct .so lib config (please wait)... OK.

----------------------------- checking config file -----------------------------
003. Checking config file access... FAILED (/root/.wine/config does
not exist).
- ADVICE: it is ok in case you have ~/.winerc. If you don''t, then you''re in trouble !.

--------------------- checking system devices used by Wine ---------------------
004. Checking sound device /dev/dsp... OK.
005. Checking audio mixer device /dev/mixer... OK.
006. Checking MIDI sequencer device /dev/sequencer... BAD (no kernel driver for /dev/s
equencer?).
- ADVICE: module loading problems ? Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt.

----------------------- checking registry configuration ------------------------
grep: /root/.wine/system.reg: No such file or directory
007. Checking availability of winedefault.reg entries... CRITICAL (entry "SHAREDMEMLOCATI
ON" not found in system.reg registry file).
- ADVICE: file winedefault.reg doesn't seem to have been applied using regapi.
grep: /root/.wine/system.reg: No such file or directory
008. Checking availability of windows registry entries... CRITICAL (entry "Default Taskbar
" not found).
- ADVICE: Windows registry does not seem to be added to Wine, as this typical Windows regist
ry entry does not exist in Wine's registry. This can affect many newer programs. A complete
original Windows registry entry set will *not* be available with a no-windows install, of co
urse, so you'll have to live with that..

8 tests. 0 suspicious, 1 bad, 2 critical, 2 failed.
Wine configuration correctness score: 1.54%

Sorry for the extension of this thread ,thanks

i forgot to say i think the error i got on sequencer was a chmod i did before because i thought a sequencer was something else when actually it doesn't exist (man i just looked at the lenght and it scared the hell out , sorry once again).

I think that worths trying vmware too..

I tried to open kazaa with wine and there was no way....

so vmware serves . .good..

i also suggest trying vmware

with vmware u can actually _use_ the windows programs, but u'll have to boot windows inside the virtual machine though

with wine i can start most programs, but almost none of them are actually usable (meaning that some things are extremely slow or just don't work the way they should be working)

yeap . . thats right vmware is much stable.......

Well winxp-vmware run better in vmware than in the actual real box

there is always the possibility to use the new fantastic free . .super fast super compatible , but not released Lindows

anyone knows if AUTODESK(auto-cad) works with either wine or vmware ? that`s my main reason for trying to install it , apart from games ,of course .

actually vmware is running a second OS inside the existing one.

It boots and shares all the resourches of your existing system.

It supports all office apps.. + com + parallel + serial + usb + sound + network support.

The only limitations are the soundcard is sb16 emulation and the video is a SVGA one...

So you might not manage to see a movie in full screen and play a game . .

but the rest apps are ok.

wine have very limited support for everything , I 've never wasted time with that...cause too few capabilities.

Personally i had hell of a time getting wine to work, my vote goes to VMware cuz it worked flawlessly for me. Although i have no more need for it since i finally abandoned windows, i only keep a small install of win2000 for my sister to use when she needs to...
Aren't there a couple of good CAD programs for linux already?

i suggest you try it at http://bugs.winehq.com. your problem seems like a developer issue to me. i think noone can help you out here really.

I just get the codeweavers wine, rpm2tgz it and install. It installs to /opt/wine so I just add that to the path and ld.so.conf and away we go. Codeweavers had an excellent wine setup utility where you can change your .wine/conf on the fly.

Don't know what to say , thanks for the tip . I got the name , but i really doubt i will go into it right now , i have plenty of stuff i want to explore that gives me more knowledge, and plus i can always go to youknowwho and do whatever i want . I really wonder why i made that post , stupid post . It's really important that you think about what you are going to ask when you do , otherwise you just wasting words ...

CrossOver Office is also very interesting, it is a modified Wine that can run Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer and other applications. I bought it 2 days ago and it is working very wel. Have a look at http://www.codeweavers.com/ for more information.

Im very new to linux installing wine and i get this problem when trying to runt the program

warning: the specified windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accesible
warning: the specified system directory L"c\\windows\\system32\\" is not accesible

if any 1 could help me id be thankfull

bob

Edit your .wine/config file and remove one of the \ so it looks like this:

"Windows" = "c:\windows"

Instead of this:

"Windows" = "c:\\windows"
