wine not working...

[Daniel Chao]

Hi Everybody,

I just recently download wine and installed it on my RedHat 9(which also
recently upgraded from 8).

I think I did everything right.  But, when I try to install something or
even just run wine.  It gives me the following error.  I checked all the
configurations and they seem to be right.  So, I don't know what's going on
with it.....

wine: lstat /root/.wine/wineserver-wingzero/socket : No such file or
directory

Any suggestion????

Does the directory /root/.wine exist?  (You're running
wine as root I gather?)  I had to create a ~/.wine
directory for wine to work for me.

Recompile wine using the flag --with-nptl.
like this : 
./configure --with-nptl
make
make depend

Avoid to use wine or some program as root if isnt needed.
