Using the WINE Program with Sun's Solaris system

Hi.

I was trying to use the WINE program on Sun's Solaris 10 UNIX operating system, x86-64 version. It seems I can't run many applications as they often give this error:

"err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"ws2_32.dll": ld.so.1: wine: fatal: libnsl.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
err:module:import_dll Loading library ws2_32.dll (which is needed by L"c:\\windows\\system32\\wsock32.dll") failed (error c000007a)."

But the "missing" file "libnsl.so.1" exists on the system. Why is it not working? Is it impossible to make it work? I heard once that this was because it is a 64-bit system. So does that mean, then, that there is no way this can be resolved, short of dumping the O/S and switching to something else?

But is it 32-bit or 64-bit library? Wine is 32-bit and requires 32-bit libraries.

Looks like it's 32-bit:

--
# file /lib/libnsl.so.1
/lib/libnsl.so.1: ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib 80386 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information available

So what would you think the problem is, then?

Did you compile it yourself? Did you get compiler errors?

No, I did not compile the package myself. I downloaded the binary linked to from this website (winehq.org, in the download section) and installed it.

I'd suggest e-mailing the maintainer and asking him. It may be a
64-bit issue, or it could be a wine bug.

Well, I did, and now I got it to work. Turns out an OS update was needed. Thank you for all the help.

Hi

I've got the same problem, but on OpenSolaris 2008.11.

Yesterday I've enabled "Password Safe" application over wine in Solaris 10 u6 (x86-64) on my home PC and had no problems. Today tried to repeat the procedure on my work notebook on OpenSolaris and it dind't worked

.

This is the output:

Installed WINE from sunfreepacks.com, the binary packages for Solaris 10 and Open Solaris are actually different.

I cant't upgrade, 2008.11 (101b) is the last version of OpenSolaris. There are newer versions of SXDE (Solaris Express Developer Edition), but I belive it is not the upgrade path.

What should I do?
