My system: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Winchester core Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe 1 GB Corsair DDR-400 Nvidia 6600GT 128MB (2) 74 GB SATA WD Raptors I'm running gentoo with the 2.6.10-gentoo-r7 kernel. My root partition is on a linux software raid. Problem: After many hours of research I learned that I can't compile wine on my 64-bit platform, i have to download a precompiled binary for a 32-bit architecture and it will work. Well I downloaded "wine-20050111-1fc3winehq.i386.rpm" and installed it and when I run wine as a regular user, I get this error message: bash-2.05b$ wine wine: creating configuration directory '/home/webster/.wine'... wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger... err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x55cdff50 wine: wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/home/webster/.wine'. bash-2.05b$ wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/webster/.wine-HYxf2i/system.reg : No such file or directory wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/webster/.wine-HYxf2i/userdef.reg : No such file or directory wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/webster/.wine-HYxf2i/user.reg : No such file or directory I also have fedora core 3 on this system (on another software raid) and i installed the same rpm and got the same exact error message. I read someone created a 32-bit ebuild that is a miracle solution although I couldn't properly uninstall my rpm because i got this error message: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.58306: line 2: /sbin/chkconfig: No such file or directory error: %preun(wine-20050111-1fc3winehq) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 I installed that ebuild anyway and it didn't fix any problems. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get wine up and running?
