RPM for Red Hat - Wine Startup problem for multiple users
Hi good folks! I'd like to offer to provide some testing and/or debug feedback on this one because it seems several users have experienced the same problem getting Wine to start, and it appears not to be application specific. Previous use of Wine has been fine, and I just tried 20031016 using the RPMs for RH8, running i686. I get the same problem whether I upgraded, or cleared everything out first and installed from scratch. Doesn't matter what application I try - even notepad, for example, all stop with the following error, seemingly before Wine has really got going... wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger... Now, I assume there's some more debugging info I could offer you guys, but you'll need to ask me the question coz I'm not sure what you want to know. Why am I writing here? Well, it seemed more appropriate than the wine-users list where this got discussed a bit, and it seems likely that it's going to be a fixable problem because several users have seen it - and it appears to occur early during start-up regardless of application being launched, so from my experience of programming it seems it stands the chance of being a more readily fixable glitch in common code than some hard-to-track down obscure interaction with application-specific libraries. Oh, and I need a pointer to what questions need answering to be helpful and I'd like to be able to give better debug/testing feedback to help the project along a little bit as much as I can. Thanks! -- Best regards, James.

Problem was installation of a RH7.3 package on RH8, without the proper compat-glibc package. I'm beginning to wonder if some type of pre-install check would be welcome here, as well as for detecting absence of NPTL on RH9... Vincent

For NPTL we should at least check to ensure the binary will work and abort out if not, rather than having wierd crashes later on. Could you adapt your patch to do that Vincent?

Good idea, that'd be 4-5 lines. One which aborts if NPTL is enabled, the other if it's disabled. The optimal solution would still be a single binary for all configurations, but I'll wait for Alexandre. The redhat-release package begins to be interesting for the first issue... Vincent
