Wine Problems

Post by bryane »

Currently when I type in example
wine iexplore http://google.com
I get the error
wine: failed to initialized: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
I dont recall how I installed wine previously but I know it had so many errors before

recently I typed in last time
yum install wine
and it said it installed... If I uninstall it though yum and type in wine it still exists so I don't know how to completely UNINSTALL wine so i can REINSTALL wine to see if that will fix the error.

I AM missing that wine directory in the usr local lib and DO NOT know how to get it because wine seems to NOT reinstall properly or uninstall... If I try to use the Source to install wine I also get error what is the deal?

Where should I start first? I think I should uninstall completely but do not know how :( Looks like there is a lot of flaws[/quote]

ok I found a folder I had of wine source so i typed in
make uninstall
and then went to the ~/ folder and typed in wine and this time it says
bash: /usr/local/bine/wine: No such file or directory
ok it looks like I uninstalled it this time...

what would would be the next step I need to take to try and make sure everything is off so i can reinstall it to see if i can get this Wine to work properly... I am going to
yum remove wine*
since I did earyler yum install wine* and I want to make sure that's off... then what?

been 2 months or so since i been trying to get this to work HAHA

You already did all. If you really paranoid :-) you can do

Code: Select all

find /usr -iname "*dll.so"
It should not find any files.

After that just install Wine with yum.
