sud_crow Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Hi, Well i decided to try out WineX CVS version couze the only reasson i still have a win partition, is couze i love gaming, and although i used to use Wine, but i wanted to play Generals or Warcraft 3... to name a few, but mostly for Blitzkrieg and others i like better and im not sure they would work on Wine. Well once i got a link to a quick guide to install from CVS i followed it and i got everything right (or that was what i thought), when i actually finished installing/compiling/setuping everything i decided to try out the most simple and less dependant prog i could find, this was NOTEPAD.EXE so i copied this file to my fake_windows dir under windows and tryed running wine c:windowsnotepad.exe and all the 'simil' commands to execute the app. always getting this error: wine: lstat /home/sud/.wine/wineserver-crowpc/socket : No such file or directory after several tryes i gave up, i searched for that 'socket' thing but couldnt find it, nor something about it. so i decided to make uninstall and use the included installer, wineinstall and when was reaching the end (after recompiling and skiping the make install beacouse i wasnt root) it sayd this: Preparing to install default Wine registry entries...Installing default Wine registry entries... wine: lstat /home/sud/.wine/wineserver-crowpc/socket : No such file or directory Registry install failed. And now im asking you, what is this? and better, how do i fix it!? Well, all help is really apreciated, thanks.[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Why don't you post your ~/.wine/config file and also, did you know that 9.1 has wine already? do you have 2 version running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud_crow Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Well, im actually trying to use WINE(X), but i dont know if i have to uninstall the included wine, do I?

tyme Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 you need to delete: /home/sud/.wine/wineserver-crowpc (the directory) this is a problem with WineX on Mandrake (atleast, dunno about othsers) systems that's been around since atleast the 3.0 release. you'll have to do this everytime you run WineX. (and yes, I know it doesn't seem like it would work. but it does. i don't know why, i just know it does...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud_crow Posted June 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 OK, i will try that tonight, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud_crow Posted June 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Hi again. Well, it worked! but there is still something that is bothering me. I have to do it every time i run anything!!, is this normal? if it is, cant i make some kind of script to delete that directory everytime it apears? or something like, a script that when i execute it makes the del-dir and runs WINE with a promp wich says with what program to start the emulator? Hope someone understood something of the hole thing. Thanks for the previous tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
