Upper Memory

Dangbert · Post by **Dangbert** » Sat Oct 29, 2011 12:16 pm

I am a tad tardy asking this question, but better late than never.

Back about two to three years ago, an updated version of Wine (no I do not know the version number) and all of a sudden a program I had been running under Wine for years no longer worked. When I try to run the program now, the error message was/is "not enough space for environment."

I assume that means that something in the "Upper Memory" was changed. That either the size of the Upper Memory, or the way it is reported changed.

My question, is there any way (Wine used to be much more configurable than it is now) to either configure or set the Upper Memory size?

Thanks

Deb

Exactly what version of Wine are you using? The only bug report I can find that mentions that error message was closed as fixed six years ago. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1406

I had this same problem about then. Then for several releases everything was fine. Then it popped up again and has been there for the last several.

My current version, pulled down off the PCLinuxOS repository, is 1.2.2

thanks

This is very old version. Please upgrade to the latest development version wine-1.3.31 and try again.

Excuse me, but your latest STABLE is Version 1.2.3.

While I could compile the source for 1.3.3, there being no PCLinuxOS precompiled version, I really an not comfortable putting that on my system and possibly having to pull it off. I could do it, but do not want the bother.

And that version is a year old, and you'd still be told to try the latest development release if you were using it. The point is to find out if the problem you're seeing now has been fixed or not.

The latest development release is 1.3.31. You don't have to install the Wine you compile; it can be run from the build directory without uninstalling what you have.

The reason I am hesitant is I have done the compile and install several and messed up more than one install by getting something wrong or not having all the right dependencies.

I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the tip

Lets call it quits. I started running into dependency problems and that is not somewhere I want to go. I have the program running on my "gaming" machine (its about all Windows is good for) and so can use it if needs be. I will wait for the repository to update, which may be awhile as a lot of effort is being poured into getting the 64bit version of PCLinusOS out the door.

Thanks for the help

There might be a workaround. Run your program this way:

Code: Select all

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/path_to_program
env - wine program.exe

This should remove all *NIX environment which mostly useless for Wine.

Thanks for the work around. Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem. I ran "env" twice and both failed. The results are below. The second time I left the "-" out.

Weeeellllllll, all I can say is, "Me and my fat fingers." I reran the command, with the proper suffix, and got this error message.

i guess your systems' memory may have been affected. try reinstalling the windows or program.

Oops, forgot about this one. Try this:

Code: Select all

env - DISPLAY=:0 HOME=$HOME wine smw.exe

Vitamin, sorry for the delay in responding. For one thing, I though I had.

The, "
env - DISPLAY=:0 HOME=$HOME wine smw.exe

fixed the problem - thanks
