I'm not having any luck with wine on x86_64. With the full complement of wine* installed, nothing much works. Problems seem to be 32 vs. 64 bit issues.
So, I tried removing all wine*.x86_64, leaving the i686. This doesn't work either. winecfg wine: created the configuration directory '/home/nbecker/.wine' wine: could not exec wineserver
I'm guessing a working wine setup would require grabbing additional i686 packages that are not in the x86_64 repo.
Anyone else looked at this?
I ran into this a few weeks ago and don't remember what fixed it. I know I played with installing/uninstalling various wine related packages. Dumb question: Have you rebooted after running into this error? I think I remember finding something that suggest that as a solution... Maybe there is some environment variable set between the i686 and 64 bit packages that gets things confused which gets cleared during a reboot.
Unless you are actually going to run 64bit windows apps I would suggest not installing any wine x86_64 packages.
