wine error - FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock

[dale10]

Well, I just installed wine using a howto from a linux half-life site (Gee they make it seem so easy). I got solitare to work just fine and dandy, but when I try setup.exe for half-life I get these errors:

FIXME :pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_unlock
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_unlock

then a Windows window pop up that says something like:

Setup requires a different version of Windows.
Error 102.

I tried looking up my error in search engines, etc but the FIXME :pthread_rwlock_rdlock is usually followed by some err:message. Mine is not. Any bright ideas on what's wrong?

doh!
didn't mean to make the smiley face thing.
:p is just : followed by p

"FIXME:"
followed by
"pthread_rwlock_unlock"

I doubt you can use Wine to install Windows software. Isn't Wine meant to run Windows software that is already installed?

Wine will install half-life and play very well. The errors you are seeing are most likely due to a misconfigured wine config file. Please make sure that your config file matches your system.

[YOU STATED THIS ERROR}

FIXME thread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME thread_rwlock_unlock
FIXME thread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME thread_rwlock_unlock

This tells me possibly the cdrom and floppy and possibly are wrong in the config file.
For example on my default config file looked like this and i modified to fit my system see below

[Drive A]
"Path" = "/mnt/fd0" SHOULD BE /mnt/floppy
"Type" = "floppy"
"Label" = "Floppy"
"Serial" = "87654321"
"Device" = "/dev/fd0"

[Drive C]
"Path" = "/c" {this is ok becuase im using fake windows}
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95"


[Drive D]
"Path" = "/cdrom" SHOULD BE /mnt/cdrom
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
; make sure that device is correct and has proper permissions !
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"

Also make sure to edit the below to match
"UseDGA" = "N"
"DesktopDoubleBuffered" = "Y"

{second error stated}

then a Windows window pop up that says something like:
Setup requires a different version of Windows.
Error 102.

try this switch

wine --winver win98 hl.exe
