Hi wine-users Apologies for sending the first email with the wrong return address. I wonder if anyone can offer some advice. I have a RH8.0 installation on which I was running wine-20021007 quite happily. I upgraded a number of base packages and still wine ran beautifully. Knowing the changing face of wine, I decided to upgrade. I did this with a binary distribution and immediately ran into problems. I had forgotten that I installed the original wine by compiling. After two days of downloading binaries and source packages and fiddling I am still don't have confidence in my wine. As an example of the problems experienced, I first made sure I had uninstalled all versions of wine and worked through all places where I could identify anything relating to wine and deleted it. I then did a vanilla compile of wine-20030618. When I ran wine, it told me that it could not find /usr/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so. The directory in fact doesn't exist because the compiled wine puts everything under the prefix /usr/local, not /usr. Why is wine picking up this prefix (which is the one apparently used by the RH distributions)? Same thing happened with the previous version 20030508, which I am now using. I did a symlink to this "odd" directory and wine starts OK, but still some of my working applications crash after getting part of the way through (this may be because I haven't fully worked through the reconfiguration yet) - OK another reinstall and now they don't crash!! - probably an old registry. It is now quite usable, but I would like to get to the bottom of the "hassles" just to have some confidence. Is there something I haven't purged properly? cheers, Ken PS many many thanks to the developers of this package - it means I can do all my work from Linux with just the one major application - a Web editing tool - that needs Windoze. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
