I'm following the directions in http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13563 to get Dragon NaturallySpeaking (DNS) 10-standard working on cruncheee 08.10. I already installed Wine 1.1.30 via ubuntu PPA. The next step is to download winetricks and run it. An error message occurs when I use winetricks. I.e. $ sh winetricks gdiplus fontfix ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory ...stuffs deleted... I get an error message complaining it didn't see /dev/snd/seq and mentioned ALSA. So I decide to use winecfg to change to OSS (I have to change to OSS anyway for DNS). When I start up winecfg, I get the same error message saying I can't open /dev/snd/seq . Fyi, I'm running cruncheee 08.10, an eee version of #! (crunchbang) 08.10, which is an openbox implementation of ubuntu 08.10 . Thus I am running a modified version of #! which has the sound modules stripped out. What library or utility am I missing? Fyi, I'm running cruncheee 8.10 on this eee 701 4G laptop. And the lspci and lsmod outputs are http://shengchieh.50webs.com/Laptoplspci.txt http://shengchieh.50webs.com/Laptoplsmod.txt Thank in advanced for any help. Sheng-Chieh p.s. Searching the !# and Wine forums for /dev/snd/seq didn't help. p.s. I'm hesitant to install #1 9.04 because sun-java will not work. I could try opengeeu, wattOS, or easy peasy if needed. I do want to have an ubuntu based distro that is lightweight. But first step: is there an easy way to fix the error I have now?
