--- Comment #71 from J mrlaforge@gmail.com 2010-06-24 23:33:13 --- As Gentoo doesn't yet provide wine-1.2_rc4, I created my own overlay and ebuild to use the SC2 patch plus that version. The sc2 patch mentioned in this thread plus the rc4 source and kernel 2.6.32-gentoo-r1 does compile and get beyond the login screen.
wine-1.2_rc4 stock with kernel 2.6.32-gentoo r1 did not work (or any version of wine after 1.1.43) and exhibited the same error message as this thread started with.
I will have to test to see if this breaks other applications I use, but this is tentatively good news. It confirms that the sc2 patch works around it - but not if that breaks other applications.
