It would make no sense to run Wine on WinXP :) Post the errors, someone might be able to help you. mdwatts 03-24-2004, 12:33 PM We do have quite a few guides/tutorials/howto's posted in the 'How I did it' forum on configuring Wine and how to run Windows programs. Have a look/search. Rickead2000 03-24-2004, 05:22 PM Which programmes are you trying to run? Wine may require you to install the programs again onto a "fake windows" drive. It could be that wine does not fully support the applications you are trying to run. Post some of the errors you receive as these will give an idea of what is going wrong Taqwus 03-25-2004, 06:27 AM the ones I tried was solitaire sol.exe and winamp dboyer 03-25-2004, 07:08 AM my newish build of wine (Wine 20031212) fails to load sol.exe successfully (how sad)... two things come to mind: 1) I only use wine as a laaaast resort. if there is something in linux that either meets or exceeds my needs (as sometimes is the case) I'll use that... wine is finicky at best. Try aisleriot for all your solitare/time sinking needs.... 2) Although the fact that wine works at all is a giant miracle of reverseengeering, the fact that /sol.exe/ doesn't work is sorta sad... *sigh*... oh well... I'm pretty sure I've seen winamp work though... Links of interest: when trying to run apps, i find it helpful to find other peoples experiences and any tricks they know to get it to work... a couple places to start looking (other than JL): http://frankscorner.org/ http://appdb.winehq.org/ (although it appears to be down at this moment, we'll see) Taqwus 03-26-2004, 02:44 AM Is there a way to redirect the output to an error file mdwatts 03-26-2004, 12:13 PM Originally posted by Taqwus Is there a way to redirect the output to an error file Just tack on '> /path/to/<error.log>'. i.e. wine sol.exe > /home/<user>/sol-errors.txt Taqwus 03-29-2004, 05:57 AM I looked at my wine config file and I am wondering if wine can operate with a partition that has NTFS on it mdwatts 03-29-2004, 12:08 PM Originally posted by Taqwus I looked at my wine config file and I am wondering if wine can operate with a partition that has NTFS on it Since Redhat is known not to include ntfs support, have you added the ntfs modules? See the link in my signature. Taqwus 03-29-2004, 05:22 PM I have that package installed When I get a chance I will try wine again justlinux.com
