I dl'ed and compiled/installed WineX from CVS and almost everything went fine. I configured it with a winesetuptk program I found online somewhere. This is my log thingy:
[zach@localhost cdrom]$ wine setup.exe
wine: lstat /home/zach/.wine/wineserver-localhost.localdomain/socket : No such file or directory
Any suggestions on how to get it working (btw I'm on RH9)?
Thanks in advance!

Wine dosn't work in Redhat 9, AFAIK they're working on it.

I thought they had already fixed the problems in it? Maybe I'll go for SuSE 8.2. Anyone know when they'll make it available for ftp download or where I can dl the isos (besides edonkey- it's too slow!)

wine: lstat /home/zach/.wine/wineserver-localhost.localdomain/socket : No such file or directory This is a problem that was introduced with the glibc-2.3.2 update, every distribution that has updated this package will have this problem...
It is fixable by "rm -rf ~/.wine/wineserver*" before you launch using WineX
(you can also insert this line in the begining of the /usr/bin/wine script so it will do this when it runs...without the quotes of course ;))

The binary release of WineX3 doesn't seem to need this so it is fixed, don't know why the CVS doesn't have the update...I'll have to give it a try when I have some time soon
