wine client error:0: version mismatch 437/438

[KenJackson]

I just built and installed Wine from latest git source.

But when I run wineboot or wine, it get this error:

wine client error:0: version mismatch 437/438.
Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?

There's only one copy of wine, wineserver and wineboot on my system and they're in /usr/local/bin.

What else should I look for?

1. Check running processes to make sure that an old wineserver isn't still running.

2. Did you have a previous version of Wine installed before this one? If so, was it a binary package that you neglected to uninstall? The problem could be caused by failing to uninstall a binary package before installing your self-compiled version.

The previous version was installed the same way with the same prefix. And I checked for a running wineserver with ps and found none.

But alas, an old wineserver was running. I killed it and now everything is fine. Grief.
