aze Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Hi all! I just installed wine (wine-cvs-opengl-121602-1.i386.rpm) but I can't run it I tried "./wine" and "wine" but "No such file or directory". I checked my home folder and there is nothing like ".wine" How to run wine? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Keep in mind that this program sucks. You can locate it by typing 'locate wine'. If locate isn't installed then type urpmi slocate updatedb and do a 'locate wine' once it is installed. There is no GUI for wine btw. You have to run something with wine. Something like wine /mnt/windows/programs files/notepad MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aze Posted December 16, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 I did what you said The program is really installed but doesn't work. Keep in mind that this program sucks. I think you write :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 keep in mind that wine is an alpha-software. what it can accomplish is already astounding given the complexity of emulating a Windows environment. it doesnt claim to be able to run everything especially those applications that rely on the intricate webbing that microsoft loves to call its API. that said, wine rocks (most of the time). :grin: ciao!

aze Posted December 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 So tell me how to run it plz! I already installed and I can see the installed files at my HD But it alwas return "No such file or directory" Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 have you tried the simple instructions found in http://wine.dataparty.no/ ? i suggest you do that and create your own ~/.wine/wine.conf. and how did you install it? i recommend grabbing the daily CVS rpm on the site above or if you want the src.rpm and rebuild it yourself. ciao!

aze Posted December 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 I installed wine-cvs-opengl-121602-1.i386.rpm . Package was successful installed but it seems won't run. I'll check the instructions at http://wine.dataparty.no Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 I've always found it better to use the source package (i.e. the tar.gz file) and run ./tools/wineinstall. It will create a wine config file for you. I honestly don't know if wine rpms do that or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aze Posted December 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Well I think the wine-GLX version I have installed is like an addon (not the wine) Then I installed the tar.gz package and everything worked look: This is the instructions at readme: ----> ./configure ----> make depend ----> make (these steps generated no errors) but when I tried make install it generated the following error after make lots of operations: ... ************************************************* ************************************************* The installed Wine libraries will not be found! You can either: Add the line '/usr/local/lib' to /etc/ld.so.conf export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib ************************************************* ************************************************* [root@localhost wine-20021125]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib [root@localhost wine-20021125]# ./wine wine: cannot open /root/.wine : No such file or directory So I don't know how to run it now. By the way what's the file Wine-20021125.diff.gz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 in the terminal window at the command prompt, you have to type something like this: wine /path/to/your/windows/somefile.exe If it is installed correctly, the program will start, sometimes. Try it first with a relatively easy program like sol.exe or notepad.exe, most people seem to have luck running those as a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aze Posted December 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 I just tried a simple exe filebut it returned: wine: error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 have you run the winesetup file already? I think you just have to type "winesetup" without the quotes, it will set everything up for you. I think you have to do this as a user and not as root. It's been a while since I've installed wine on my system, so I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I don't remember the exact commands for it.

aze Posted December 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 I tried now but " no such file or dir" Thanks anyway! I'Il look for some instruction at winehq site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayk Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I tried now but " no such file or dir"Thanks anyway! I'Il look for some instruction at winehq site. I've run into this before. One or more of the dll files you are using are NT dll's. Try dll files from Windows 98 or ME. I've found you should stay away from the NT ones. - Cheers.

aze Posted December 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I run a simple exe. It's unnecessary any dll (like sol.exe) I think this is happening beacuse my OS is win2k. Anyway I still trying other ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
