Avogadro on Wine gives page fault error

[xorinet]

Hello. I am running wine-6.15. I have installed Avogadro from the win32 .exe file available from the official website. I use a win32 wineprefix set to Windows 10.
However, when I run Avogadro, it fails to work properly. I am able to place one atom, but when I attempt to place the second one, Wine crashes with the following error:

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x8010c497 in 32-bit code (0x72abb2d3).

I see the error with libcairo-2.dll, however I cannot find anywhere to download it from/any way to add it to Wine somehow to make it work (as said in the FAQ).
Is there any way to fix this problem?

Thank you very much in advance.

I'm not an expert, but that libcairo-2.dll might be the issue. It looks like you can download a copy from www.dll-files.com. Might be worth a try?

You could also try searching in the application install directories to see if that dll is included somewhere, but just isn't being found by Wine.

WINEPREFIX=/home/xorinet/.local/share/wineprefixes/wine32 wine /home/xorinet/.wine/drive_c/...

Does the program work if you install and run it in the wineprefix?

Why don't you use the native Linux version of avogadro?

Please don't download random DLLs from somewhere.

I managed to reproduce the issue and opened a bug report for this at https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51678

Seconding the usage of the official Linux version, though.

Strange. I can't reproduce this bug.

Interesting, it works for me with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1. Some driver shenanigans going on here.

Please don't download random DLLs from somewhere.

Why not? In what way is it 'random', if it's a specific DLL the application is flagging as missing?

I was under the impression that using actual Windows DLLs can be a valid way to resolve some issues in Wine.

Sure, but you need to know what you're doing and get it from a safe place. When missing a dll that is not included in windows, that's not the solution. Also keep in mind that those dll sites could provide anything, you never know what you're getting.

Ok. Yes, I agree that you need to be careful about where you get them from. I would always run something like that through an anti-virus check as a precaution. Still, as long as you're careful, it doesn't seem like it would hurt to give it a try.

Wow. Very interesting indeed, that instantly fixed my problem. I was trying to mess around with the dll files, haha. Didn't realise that I just had to set that variable.
Thank you very much for your help!

Eh, that switches to software rendering instead of using the GPU. Hardly a solution, but might be a temporary workaround.
