Hi all.
About half a year ago I replaced my old desktop by an AMD64 box and my previous x86 Linux from Scratch (LFS) installation by a x86_64 multilib LFS. And since then I'm not able to run any DirectX title anymore that used to work before.
Try disabling the sound in winecfg.
I tried, but it didn't help. I've also tried different audio outputs (ALSA and OSS), but the error messages are the same.
Anyways, thanks for your reply.

It looks to me that something went wrong with compilation. Roderic does DX development on an AMD64 machine without problems. Are you sure that Wine is compiled for 32 Bit? Perhaps some problem with the 32 bit libraries?

The question is quite obvious, but yes, I am sure its 32-bit. First, the output of the following command is empty, so there are no 64-bit binaries in the wine directory:
$ file /opt/wine/lib/{,wine/}*.so /opt/wine/bin/* | grep "64-bit"
Second, some programs run fine with wine, e. g. pcAnywhere. And some games do start up and show the title menu (like StarCraft or AOE2), but crash when selecting a game.
Third, as I said before, I've compiled wine from source on a Pentium II Debian box which doesn't even know what x86_64 is, and copied the installation directory /opt/wine-CVS... to my x86_64 box. But that didn't help. I also used the setarch-utility to make the Wine configure script see an i686-machine, and setting the -m32 flags for GCC by hand, but the effect was the same.
Perhaps some problem with the 32 bit libraries?
In general 32-bit apps work fine on my machine. I can run Opera, Firefox, VMware 4.5, Quake III Arena, UT2004 and much other binary software without any problems. Are there some libs known to cause trouble with Wine? How can I check this?

I also build Wine on an amd64 system (running gentoo/ amd64), no problems. But there's one thing I noticed a while ago: Wine continues to compile and install even if some of the DLLs won't compile. I had this a few times in the past, and ended up with a basically working Wine install that missed a few DLLs, mostly OpenGL-related stuff. Maybe something like that happens to you? Just check that all DLLs are built and in place, and make sure there were no errors during compile (like I said, with some DLLs, Wine just continues to build even though errors appear)...
Ciao, Willie
