[TriLUG] wine

[Roy Vestal]

Check and see if it's prelinking. I found that prelinking (Thanks Matt!) 
caused a lot of the problems I was seeing. I don't think Mandrake uses 
prelinking, however, I'm not 100% sure of that. What I am sure is that 
FC uses prelinking, and it causes weird problems with wine. This FAQ 
tells how to turn it off. I'd recommend that you research prelinking 
before you do this. However, if you *need* wine to work, then you need 
to consider just disabling prelinking. Check out:

http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc2/#wine

Even though the FAQ is for FC2, I use it on FC3 and FC4 fine.

Also, check out winetools on www.winehq.com. It's a great way to get 
Wine setup for your apps. I'm running stuff that shouldn't run under 
wine. :D

HTH,
Roy
