What the latest with wine? After reading an article about wine, I decided to give it a try (I have played with it in the past). Running wine or winetools from the commandline I get: ls: /home/eddie/.wine/dosdevices/: No such file or directory rm: cannot remove `/home/eddie/.wine/dosdevices/f:': No such file or directory no wine directory found... trying to create one wine: creating configuration directory '/home/eddie/.wine'... What is created is .wine-HqL3jh or something similar for each instance that wine or winetools is run. Renaming .wine-HqL3jh to .wine didn't seem to help. When I attempt to run a program e.g. wine notepad.exe nothing happens. Does anyone know what's going on or have a fix for it? Thanks Eddie

This should not happen. Are any kind of wine processes running? check with: ps auxw|grep wine kill any running processes and try again. What filesystem type is your homedirectory? Ciao, Marcus

Ciao, Marcus What seems to be happening is that wine is trying to create the ~/.wine and just hangs, resulting is a temp directory being left on the system. I have other problems too, which are probably unrelated. I've re-installed SuSE 9.3. Wine has created the ~/.wine directory. I now have to actually try running something. To answer Marcus' question, I am using ext3.
