Hi, Taking a break for a few minutes from my fst/jack_fst work I decided to try a quick install of Myst, an old game that has, at various times, installed, not installed, worked or not worked with Wine. (According to the app database.) Anyway, I wanted to try it out so, to cause as few problems as possible for my existing Wine installation, I created a new user account named myst and then attempted to install from there, thus creating a new .wine directory, etc. I su'ed into myst in an xterm, mounted the CD, and then tried running the installation from the CD. Unfortunately it didn't work. NOTE: I made no configuration changes to how Wine is running. I just configured wine by running 'wine notepad' which created directories, etc., and then tried from there. My questions are really about how valid it is to do this. 1) User mark owns the X display. User myst is running Wine. Any problems? Does user Myst have to log on and start X to run programs under Wine? 2) When the install died and the debugger started I did a back trace. I noticed that the debugger is showing /home/mark/CODE/WINE/... which is probably not a directory that user myst has access to. Is this a problem? Is this a location the user myst or the debugger needs access to? Or is it just a name in the code? myst@flash myst $ cd /mnt/cdrom/ myst@flash cdrom $ ls archive channel.dat install.cfg mechan.dat qtw system.dat autorun credits.dat install.exe myst.dat readme.txt autorun.inf dunny.dat intro.dat myst16 selen.dat bitmaps e_reg making.dat myst32 stone.dat myst@flash cdrom $ wine install.exe wine: Unhandled exception (thread 000d), starting debugger...

Of more interest is learning the right way to set this stuff up and to do the debugging in a proper manner, and then to help solve problems of interest.
