WIne Problems on Debian

Post by David Baron »

Wine seems broken on Debian Sid. There were scripting problems updateing to
1.4.6. Current version updated to 1.4.7 OK.

Problem: Wine is looking for .so in /usr/local/lib/wine which no longer
exists. I can stop this by symlinking, not to /usr/lib/wine but to
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine Previous versions seemed to like the local .so's
but they should not have still been around so I removed them.

Tip off was conflicting wine client/server numbers! Is there some config file
I need to change. I had purged them all.

Question is why the Debian=installed version is looking for those local libs?

Problem: With the symlink, wine will run. There seem to be problems with
libwine-alsa and Jammer Pro6 aborts with an error. Some MIDI apps work, some
do not but I had using them OK as of 1.2.3 (testing) but downgrading to that
no longer works.

Debian also has 1.5.0 wine-unstable packages. Are these better? I got the same
errors with them but a least they were not looking for anything in
/usr/local/lib!

No such versions. The current stable release is 1.4, and the current development release is 1.5.6. Whatever you installed, it's not plain Wine if it reports those version numbers.
