megiddo_99 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I'm trying to get Wine to work on Mandrake, but I can't get my old Win XP NTFS partition with write permissions... I've set the permissions, and I set the option umask=0, tried restarting, but I still don't have write access ( I check the perms via properties and they aren't what I set! ) I really would like to be able to run win programs with Wine! Please help me.... moved from Software by LiquidZoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 NTFS write support is sketchy at best. It works great for some, but it doesn't work at all for others. You'd be better off with a fat32 partition to share data between the 2 OS's Also, are you trying to run already-installed programs with Wine? You would get better results trying to install the programs with wine and running them that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megiddo_99 Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I'd really like to avoid making another fat32 partition, since I already have an NTFS partition. And yes, I am reinstalling the stuff. Is there any way I can get write permissions for an NTFS partition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megiddo_99 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 There is always this: http://hardware.mcse.ms/message49597.html <{POST_SNAPBACK}> when I tried that, I got this compiling error... checking for poptParseArgvString in -lpopt... no configure: error: Captive requires popt library. It seems like nothing I do works, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 urpmi libpopt Might be just popt, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidzoo Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 That's strange. Try urpmi popt-devel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megiddo_99 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 That's strange. Try urpmi popt-devel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I ran that, installed it ( it shoulda been installed already if the rpm said so though, right? ). Ran configure again.... checking for gnome-vfs-module-2.0... Package gnome-vfs-module-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnome-vfs-module-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gnome-vfs-module-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements (gnome-vfs-module-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. How do I do that environment variable? I'm sorry, I'm completely new to Linux... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 urpmi gnome-vfs No, popt and popt-devel are 2 separate packages in Mandrake's eyes. If you try to install the -devel, it will install the normal version as well; but that doesn't work the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megiddo_99 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I'm sorry, it's still not working for me for some reason.... I tried urpmi gnome-vfs, ran config, same error.... so I tried urpmi gnome-vfs-devel, but it asks me for CD 4!

liquidzoo Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Remove your cd4 source for starters (software sources manager) and add a main source to urpmi at http://easyurpmi.zarb.org Then grab your files from that source.
