wine on x86_64 F12

2009-12-01 Thread Neal Becker
I'm not having any luck with wine on x86_64.  With the full complement 
of wine* installed, nothing much works.  Problems seem to be 32 vs. 64 
bit issues.

So, I tried removing all wine*.x86_64, leaving the i686.  This doesn't 
work either.
 winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/nbecker/.wine'
wine: could not exec wineserver

I'm guessing a working wine setup would require grabbing additional i686 
packages that are not in the x86_64 repo.

Anyone else looked at this?

I ran into this a few weeks ago and don't remember what fixed it. I
know I played with installing/uninstalling various wine related
packages. Dumb question: Have you rebooted after running into this
error? I think I remember finding something that suggest that as a
solution... Maybe there is some environment variable set between the
i686 and 64 bit packages that gets things confused which gets cleared
during a reboot.

Unless you are actually going to run 64bit windows apps I would
suggest not installing any wine x86_64 packages.
