wine: failed to create the process heap

I am trying to get wine up and running on RH9 and I keep getting this error upon attempting to launch a program with wine. I just cannot get it to launch.

The error is the title of this thread. I'll post it below also!

Code: Select all

wine: failed to create the process heap

Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide to help me resolve this issue and get wine running...

Do you have SeLinux or similar enabled? Does 'wine notepad' work?

Notepad does not work either if your refering to notepad.exe...

How would I enable SeLinux or test if it is enabled? Forgive my in-experience.

Thank you very much for helping me.

Then something screwy is going on...

That would depend on your os. I don't use Redhat, so I'm not sure.

I run Fedora 9. To control SELinux go to:

System|Administration|SELinux Management

from the menu bar. On the SELinux management screen "Current Enforcing
Mode" will show the current mode, which is one of Disabled, Permissive
or Enforcing. The default mode is Enforcing, which may be what is
causing your troubles.

Change "System Default Enforcing Mode" to change the effect SELinux has
on your system. "Disabled" does what it says on the tin and "Permissive"
generates the violation messages you'd see in "Enforcing" mode but
doesn't stop the program from doing whatever caused the violation.

If you're a normal user and have a firewall in place (any type will do)
SELinux doesn't offer you much apart from a pain in the bum if yoyu riun
anything except its selected list of servers, so set its default mode to
"Disabled". Thats the first thing I do after a fresh install.
