I am trying to compile wine under the Pol helper plugin for playonlinux. It is saying that the libxrender development files not found. However I do have them installed. I tried a combination of uninstalling, and rebooting system.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10, adn wine 1.2.3 I am trying to run Entropia Universe. I do have a video that tells how (http://www.youtube.com/user/davvvvve.../0/WFACia748Vw), but ran across this issue. .

Please post the exact error message and the output of

dpkg -l | grep libxrender shows:

ii libxrender-dev 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client library (development files)
ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client library
ii libxrender1-dbg 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client library (unstripped)

The actual error is in playonlinux and a pop up window says:
configure: WARNING: libxrender development files not found, XRender won't be supported.

May it be that this is a version issue? I tried to look at the video you linked, but it seems to be removed by the user, so I can't see which version of Ubuntu he was using and what it all is about.

Sorry had an old link. This is the one (http://www.youtube.com/user/davvvvve.../2/HhS6Fiy031o). I checked to see if it worked. The first one is from winehq.org. He has 11.04, but does not actually compile wine. Since he already did so.

Sorry, but I can't see in the video why it shouldn't work for you. Did you just try to follow the video further and see if it works nonetheless?

Just a sidenote: In this video one actually can see how awful and even against his workflow the Unity interface is.

No... the thing is that XRender won't be supported. If I continue with it. I will try it, and see.

I get the fallowing error when it is done compiling:

parser.y: conflicts: 5 shift/reduce

make: *** [dlls/winex11.drv] Error 2

Do you want to continue?

Again the error is in a pop up window.

When I click on yes. It does other things in a terminal. Then has this error:

xrender.c:2443: error: conflicting types for ‘XRender_AlphaBlend’
x11drv.h:321: note: previous declaration of ‘XRender_AlphaBlend’ was here
make[1]: *** [xrender.o] Error 1
make: *** [dlls/winex11.drv] Error 2

Do you want to continue?

Click on yes. Then it just says error compiling, and the only thing I can click on is close.

Are you quite sure, that it is a 32bits package ? ?

Looks like you have a 64bits OS : A 64bits /usr/lib/libXrender.so
will then be reported as "not found" ?

The command 'uname -a' will show the architecture. ( i386 /// x86_64 ).

..

uname -a
Linux Ubuntu360 2.6.35-30-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 7 18:40:23 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

When I installed Ubuntu I installed it from a 32-bit cd. I installed the libxrender directly from the Ubuntu Software Center. So I think it should of installed the correct package.

Bump

I found out what the issue was. I decided to install wine exactly how the video does it, and it worked. Installed it using apt-get build-dep wine. I take it that it installed the development files needed as well as wine.
