You are running a glibc that does not have NPTL or TLS, and you will need to upgrade glibc to a version that does have such support. Or, configure the system correctly so that those libraries are properly detected and used. This is not a wine issue, it is a Slackware one. You stand a better chance of finding out how to fix it by asking on the slack user forums/lists > wine: creating configuration directory > '/root/.wine'... Do not run wine as root Do not run wine as root Do not run wine as root It opens the door to incredible amounts of destrucction and devastation from Windows programs when they go wrong I can't think of any valid reason, not even a debugging one, to run wine as root. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
