Compiling 32-bit WINE on 64-bit distro also isn't a problem in most distros. > My problem appears to be not with identifying the 32 bit vs 64 bit > libraries but calls to the GLUT library.

This is how I understood your problem. Either: 1) Your version of SUSE have too old library or... 2) Your version of SUSE have a broken library. Is this correct? Only thing that WINE can fix is detect too old or broken library at configure time. Everything else is up to maintainers of particular package for particular distro. I have 64-bit old Debian Etch (downloaded when Etch was in the testing branch) and modern WINE is working fine there - even precompiled 32-bit packages with newest WINE work correctly without any additional effort. If you need more help, please provide terminal output with errors. Thank you for using WINE. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
