Kieth Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 I am trying to put wine on my system, which is Mandrake 9. I am not able too, because it states that some files are missing: libgdi32.dll, libkernel32.dll, libntdll.so, and libuser32.dll. In what .rpm file would I be able to find these? Thank you, Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Kieth As far as I believe, they are part of wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 Try feeding them into the search engine at http://www.rpmfind.net to find out to what they belong. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted December 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Before writing for help, I did try to find them on rpmfind. No luck. They do not seem to be a part of wine, as it still asks for them. Thanks, Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 those are windows libraries. have you made your own wine.conf file yet? ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted December 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 If those are Windows files, then I must have the wrong wine program. I will try and download another. I appreciate the advice. Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 It sounds to me like you actually have a bad RPM of Wine. Those files should have been included. I've always found better results just installing from the source tarball of Wine. Just simply go to http://www.winehq.com and download the tar.gz source tarball, uncompress it, type "./tools/wineinstall" and follow the instructions.

Thank you, Kieth You should not put wine on your system, it will short out your motherboard! Do not put any liquid into your system! :lol: Anyway, did you do a: su urpmi wine? I'm pretty sure that 9.0 has Wine 20020804 on one of the cd's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted December 29, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 I finally got it installed. Thanks, Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Anyway, did you do a:su urpmi wine? I'm pretty sure that 9.0 has Wine 20020804 on one of the cd's that version is too old by wine standard. best bet is to to use the daily cvs rpm from wine.dataparty.no or even the src.rpm. though i have to admit that doing a cvs build will compile faster. :) ciao!

Kieth Posted December 31, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 I was able to put wine on my computer, but for some reason when I go to active it, /usr/bin/wine (or wine.bin), it says that it cannot find the program. Is there a command that I must give in a terminal to be able to then activate it? Thanks again. Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 try issuing the command 'which wine' on a terminal and see if its on your path. if it is not then make sure it is added or it has the necessary execute permission set. ciao!

Kieth Posted December 31, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 I appreciate the help. In a terminal, I typed "which wine", and the answer was /usr/bin/wine. I then cheched the permissions. I made sure that the user and group (myself) had read and execute permissions. When I 'clicked' on the wine icon (while in the browser Konqueror) in the directory /usr/bin, it stated that it could not find the program wine. Is there another command I must give in a terminal window in order to execute the program, or is there another thing I must do?

Guest pinecone Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 I get that error too where it says it cant find the program except with almost every program i use that did not come with mandrake. I would like to know why htat happens when i just clicked on the program so it is obviously there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 When I 'clicked' on the wine icon (while in the browser Konqueror) in the directory /usr/bin, it stated that it could not find the program wine. this might be your problem. wine is a commandline app. you need to pass it some parameters (usually the path to the windows program you are trying to launch). ciao!
