Having an issue with Gecko

vampblades · Post by **vampblades** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 6:15 pm

Hey everybody, i'm honestly a first time linux user, but a long time fan. I've started getting the hang of things but there is one thing that i can't figure out.
I was trying to install warcraft 3 using the blizzard downloader and the downloader froze and crashed as soon as i started it. I checked the terminal and it looks like gecko wouldn't initialize... I tried to launch wine iexplore and it did the same thing.... I tried adding winehq to the repository, i reinstalled gecko, and i tried to use winetricks to fix gecko.... but i still get the same error. Any ideas?

mick@mick-linux:~$ wine iexplore

Almost forgot....
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and wine 1.2

Hi,

It depends how you installed WINE, if you installed using Synaptic I would
double check to make sure that you also installed the "wine1.2-gecko"
package. If this package is already installed you could erase your ".wine"
directory and re run the installer. Sometimes starting with a fresh ".wine"
directory can clear up any issues you may be having. You can delete your
".wine" directory by running "rm -rf ~/.wine" in the terminal. Note that
deleting your ".wine" directory will also delete any applications you've
installed using WINE.

If you build WINE from source, it normally display a message dialog asking
if you would like to download and install wine-gecko (at least it does for
me) or you could follow the directions on this page
http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko (although I've never done it this way).

Hope this helps.

so you're saying i should use that command to wipe my .wine, and then what are the steps i should take from there exactly? sorry, i just dont want to screw something up

Did you check in Synaptic to make sure you had the "wine1.2-gecko" package installed?

If it is installed and you're still having issues you can run this command in the terminal:

"rm -rf ~/.wine"
(without the quotation marks of course)

and then run the "Configure Wine" program. If you installed WINE using Synaptic you can do this by clicking "Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine". When you do this WINE will automatically re-create the "~/.wine" directory and place a fresh copy of all the DLL's in it. Then just re-run the installer for your program. Normally this clears up any issues I'm having with Gecko.

-p.s. I'm also running Ubuntu 10.04[/quote]

My apologies, in my haste I missed the part that you already tried reinstalling Gecko. However, you should still try to do what I posted previously.

If you have installed any programs, you will have to re-install them. I
recommend doing this AFTER installing Gecko.
