Greetings all. Well I figured out a temporary fix, thought I'd post it here for those who are stuck with a broken wine install as I was. I'm a deb man, so this is for debian 64 bit: "X86_64" or "amd64" users. The rpm guys can do the same thing, but when you try to do this with rpm's, you'll see why I'm a deb man. ;^) Follow the instructions here: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html scroll down to: Using an IA32 chroot to run 32bit applications Basically you are just doing a basic 32 bit core Debian Linux installation in a newly created directory in /var, then cp -Pr a few essential files over and mount dev,tmp & proc in the new corresponding 32bit install. DON'T forget to umount /var/chroot/lenny-ia32/home <--- If you decide to rm -rf the /var directory housing your new 32 bit install.... Very important, as you will delete your home directory without doing so! I'm manually mounting /home for more safety. In the instructs it tells you to add these mounts to /etc/fstab. This means this directory will be mounted at boot time; which means you may forget about that later if/when it comes time to delete it when wine is fixed, etc. Good Luck. Anyways, I Installed wine and navigated with winefile to my windows binary: "noteworthy composer" and now I'm happy untill wine 64 bit is fixed. Crow.
