WINE problem

[Icculus]

i followed the article on here http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/x-windows/wine.html
and i still cant get wine to work

im running mandrake 8 and i downloaded the
wine-cvs-unstripped-082501-1.i386.rpm
and installed it when i run it i get this message

[icculus@mothership EverQuest]$ wine /mnt/windows/games/EverQuest/eqgame.exe
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_unlock
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /mnt/windows/games/EverQuest; starting in windows directory.Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory: does not exist
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
This is '/home/icculus/.wine/config'
[icculus@mothership EverQuest]$


now i realize EQ might not work i just want wine to work im not as concerned about what its executing yet ;)

You do know that Wine comes with the Drake 8 RPMs package, right? I think it's on CD #2...
I've installed it from there on many machines.

yea it gave me the same message about the path not being right , thats why i downloaded it .

sound like its a handy tool ... if you can get it working ;)

okay the part about "cannot find /mnt/fd0" you have to edit your wine.conf file and replace the Path= entry under Floppy to say /mnt/floppy instead of /mnt/fd0
actually that will fix all of your problems, editing wine.conf
im not sure how the whole conf file works, but there are a few things u mentioned that i recognize from the file. just give it a shot, and if it doesnt work, screw around some more. the worse thatll happen is having to reinstall Wine

before I try wine again or any other DOS
emulation program, do these, or can these
be configured to give 605K or more of
base memory free at bootup, to try to run
old DOS memory-hungry games. How can
you check this in Linux in general, what
the free base mem is? And how can this
be configured. I've never given it a
thought until now, but are there options
on this?

It like you need to edit your ~/.wine/config file, and tell it drive "c:" is /mnt/windows

I think that will fix your problem. anyways, good luck.

I have MDK8.0 too, the rpm pakage installs neatly, but now how I can start wine?
Please, help!!! :(
