So I got wine working.... sort of. I was never able to run 'wineinstall' b/c if i try to run it under my ordinary login, it halts at 'config' and says I don't have permission, but if I log in as root, I can change directories to the /usr/src/wine/tools and I can see 'wineinstall' and 'config' as executable files (I even chmod a+x them to be sure) but when at: root# wineinstall (or config) it replies bash: command or file not found But I can run things like sol.exe and other non-directX programs through wine, although they may be buggy. But when trying to run halflife, or any other directX program for that matter, I get the window ______________________________ | Half-Life requires DirectX 6.0 or later | | <OK> <Cancel> | |_____________________________| just as if I were running it in Win95/98 without DirectX installed. But I've looked through every faq and how-to I can find, and no one mentions this kind of problem. Is this a wine configuration problem? I do get a message in the terminal window (as it's running wine): You need to install WinMM (etc) But how can I run wineinstall when I don't have the proper permissions in a regular session, and the root session doesn't seem to recognize 'wineinstall' as a valid executable??
