wine fails to run with: "KERNEL32.DLL" failed to i

[ggking7]

I'm use Gentoo and I've tried wine-1.1.4 as well as the latest version from git. No matter which wine command I try, the error is always just about the same:

# winecfg
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe" failed, status c0000005
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000005

I've tried deleting .wine and I've tried running as a normal user and as root with the same results. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Remove ~/.wine and run as normal user.

austin987,

Thank you for your response, but as I said I've already tried that. Here it is without .wine as a normal user:

$ winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/grant/.wine'

err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!
err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting

Try re-emerging it (the ~* versions work fine...), run revdep-rebuild
and check your kernel settings related to User / Kernel split...

Thank you, my kernel's pax support was causing the problem.
