Hi folks!
History
I installed Wine from RH 8.0 CDs and got a few things working. I
downloaded an updated version around Mar/Apr this year and installed
that (RPMs) okay, although one of the applications I had working no
longer worked. No biggie. Wine is cool, so I carried on using it for a
few things.
Now
I just downloaded and installed (RPMs) the 16th October version, and now
nothing that I ever got working will start! In fact, it's more
fundamental than that ... notepad, for example, doesn't even work.
Surely I've done something dumb? I've read over the doc's and
grabbed
the winecheck from source tree, tinkered with configs and so forth. All
to no avail. Just the same error every time: -
wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Early on, before I got my configs better arranged, I was getting an
error about wrong or incompatible USER.EXE, I think - but that seems to
have gone away now.
Does anyone spot that I've got something obvious wrong? (Feeling hopeful
here ;-))
TIA

It might be a bit tricky to uninstall at this point. One possibility is to get the RH CD, and do an "rpm -qlp winepackage.rpm" to find out all the files it installed, and try deleting them. You likely will end up deleteing some files from the current package so you might have to force install it again.

Try using a file search tool (In KDE you can use kfind, just type alt+f2 and run kfind or start it from the KDE menu) and look for *.dll.so and *.exe.so, if there are any old files on your hard drive, you'll find them. Remember to perform the search in the root directory, so you scan all the hard drive.

Alexandre is particularly prone to this, so I think although you never see him post here, he and others apparently read it at least occasionally.
>typically >/usr/local/libI wouldn't say typically, as most users use binaries, and no wine binaries install in /usr/local/lib
I have just the same problem. I think the RH8-Athlon rpm is broken some how.
Yes, it is, try the i686 rpm.
