No such file or directory

MERDE1337 · Post by **MERDE1337** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 7:21 am

Hello people.
I am using a Debian based distro, 64-bit.
I have instealled the 1.1.40 Lenny version of Wine, from your site.

But I can't start Wine at all. It gives the error.

bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory

The executable file is there.

What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Many thanks.

I didn't find how to edit my previous post so...
Nothing seems to be wrong, here's the proof.

Maybe it is not in your path? Try 'which wine'

Has got nothing to do with path.
Same error if you try to run
$ /usr/bin/wine

It's frustrating that there's no edit option for your own posts.
Anyway, help!

Also: why is wine 32-bit on a 64-bit distribution?

Read the sticky at the top of the forum for why editing is disabled.

64 bit Wine is still highly experimental and doesn't actually run anything yet.

OK on 1.
And OK on 2.

So do you think that somehow the kernel doesn't recognize Wine's 32-bit executable as being valid? Good old 1.1.27 ran fine.

See the first sticky for why you cannot edit posts.

Because Wine on 64 bit has major problems right now, like you cannot run your 32 bit Windows programs on it.

So, we have to build as a 32 bit program for now. Yes, there is work to get the 64bit to 32bit Windows on Windows (WoW) working.

Hello James. I hope you people get the 64-bit version up and running soon.
Yet I need a solution for my current problem.
If this problem is because of Debian's 32-bit compatibility ... thing ... then I'd rather bug them than you.

I highly doubt that will be solved any time soon. Just use the 32 bit
version in your 64 bit os.

John, do you mean installing the DEB for i386?
I don't think that is even permitted by the package manager.

There should be an option to install the 32bit version since the 64
bit one does not work. I know fedora, ubuntu and gentoo all have this
option.

Can your distro run any 32-bit programs at all? If it can't - that's the major problem with it.

I can run 32-bit apps fine.
Before I got Wine 1.1.40, I was happily running 1.1.27.

Just noticed this. I assume by "Debian-based" you mean "not Debian." Using a package not meant for your distro could be the cause of the problem. If there are no packages specifically for your distro, compile Wine yourself.

OK this may sound strange, but do /proc and /sys need to be mounted in order for Wine to install correctly?
Are there other operations during the installation of Wine, except the copying of files, itself?

Those needed for pretty much anything on your system. Don't mess with things you don't know what they do.

MERDE1337 wrote:Are there other operations during the installation of Wine, except the copying of files, itself?

Look at the package. Some have extra steps. If you installing from source - nothing extra is done.

It looks to me that you intentionally breaking your system without complete understanding about what you doing and why. Just use a standard distro if you want things to work.

MERDE1337 · Post by **MERDE1337** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 6:18 am

I found the problem; it indeed was that /proc and /sys weren't mounted, and that the binfmt-support daemon wasn't started.
I am remastering the Debian LiveCD for my own usage - I am not "intentionally breaking" my system. And I do understand what I'm doing (to a fair degree).

Now I'm left with this: Wine isn't invoked if the Win32 exe file has the executable permission set. Any ideas?
