I'm use Gentoo and I've tried wine-1.1.4 as well as the latest version from git. No matter which wine command I try, the error is always just about the same: # winecfg err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)! err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)! err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe" failed, status c0000005 err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)! err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)! err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000005 I've tried deleting .wine and I've tried running as a normal user and as root with the same results. Does anyone know how to fix this?
