Troubles with wine - Trying to install SC2 on Arch64

Hello everyone,

First of all I did search about this and I found some manuals, there's even one about it in the arch wiki, but that's not the problem.
In order to install wine I had to enable the multilib repo, according to the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_FAQ) I had to do this

pacman -S gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib binutils-multilib libtool-multilib lib32-glibc

but I got the following error:

gcc-libs-multilib and gcc-libs are in conflict. ¿Remove gcc-libs?

so my question is, why is this happening? is it going to remove something required by the system? and so happens with the other libs, I'm worried because maybe it tries to remove some Arch64 files and puts some arch32 instead.

So that happened when I tried to complete the installation of wine in Arch64, after that I've followed this manual (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Starcraft2) and one of the steps says that when I type regedit in terminal and then "Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D" but I don't have that path (Direct3D) is it installed using another method?

I hope someone can clarify this doubts I have so I can continue using arch

Thanks in advance

You can safely say yes to removing gcc-libs in favor of gcc-libs-multilib. But you only need those multilib packages if you are going to be building multilib (32bit/64bit) packages. You do not need them for wine. Wine wiki page is what you should read for your needs.

Thanks for your response, now I'm going to install it again.

Is there a way of getting Direct3D ?. As I mentioned I did 'regedit' on terminal and followed the steps on "Edit the registry"
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Starcraft2) but I don't see Direct3D option

Thanks again

Use winetricks to see the current settings. If the need is there to tweak those settings then you can always create the registry key manually and enter the desired values.
