I installed wine using the fc5 repositories. # wine --version Wine 0.9.24 I then try to use winecfg and get: # winecfg wine: creating configuration directory '/root/.wine'... Failed to open the service control manager. It hangs here forever. However, it does create a wine directory with random extension: e.g. .wine-SMvQR6 Everytime I run the winecfg command, I get another directory with a different random extension. I thought that if I ran this as root, it would create a global directory so that any package installed would be available for any user, but .. I can't even get winecfg to work. What am I doing wrong?
