Old program no longer works

Post by Dangbert »

I am running PCLinuxOS with Wine 1.6.2. With the update a program that I use a lot, and have for years, no longer works. I had a similar previously, this fix (from WineHq) fixed that problem: (the error message was that there was insufficient space, I am assuming it meant upper memory - yeah, its that old.)

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

With the upgrade to 1.6.2, that fix no longer works, it loads(config screen display) up until it gets to the final screen and then just drops out,. Is there another work around?

Thanks

Try upgrading to the latest development release, and if the problem persists, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

I tried building 1.7.23 but ran into the terrible "FreeFont development" dependency problem. (BTW, you guys really should make a copy available, twould make life so much easier). So, here is my output under 1.6.2

I ran -- wine SMW.EXE&>log.txt

and got the same error message I got before the previous fix, ". Not enough space for environment"

So I ran, "WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid wine your_program.exe >> /tmp/output.txt 2>&1

AND got exactly the same error message, "Not enough space for environment"

As I said before,

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

used to fix the problem (exactly the same error message) but quit on the upgrade to 1.6.2 (which I fully realize is a long way behind the most current edition)
