Installing wine on an Asus EEEPC 901

[Keith Duffin]

I am trying to install wine on an Asus EEEPC 901. Every thing goes as
expected until I receive the following FATAL error.

What is the problem and what can I do about it?

If I then try winecfg I receive the error messages further down.

winefile appears to behave correctly but iexplorer remains blank even
after Gecko is installed. Notepad appears to work ok.

There is no iexplorer. There's iexplore, and there's explorer. Since you mention gecko, I assume you mean iexplore. Did you type in a URL at the command line when you started iexplore?

What exactly is not working in winecfg?

I think of it as a false positive since I 'modprobe -r snd_seq_oss ,modprobe -r snd_seq_midi' in a startup script which is why I get that error.
