Re: wine - I can't start it

I also have a similar problem since a system update a while ago. It was reported here several times, i don't know if a bug in the tracker exists.

I didn't get around taking a look (yet) though, but also compiling .37 of wine didn't help in any way.
The output of a program which worked properly before:

Re: wine - I can't start it

I had compile wine but it still do not work.

Re: wine - I can't start it

I think that won't change anything. I guess it broke for some other reason... packages, depends, why ever.

Is wine working in your Arch?

Re: wine - I can't start it

It is not working here either - The last two upgrades did not work for me. There were building problems of .exe files and font problems. We had similar problems some time ago. I have reverted to 0.9.35-1.

Go to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and do a pacman -U wine-0.9.35-1.pkg.tar.gz.

Then go to nano -w /etc/pacman.conf and add

IgnorePkg   = wine

under General Options

Wine is not to be packaged on the fly - I think the package maker should have a general interest in wine and follow the mailing list for wine.

It is also stated that certain wine versions don't work for "your favorite" apps. If you only use wine for one or two apps, I see no reason to upgrade wine as long as you have a working wine version.

That is my humble opinion, much wiser from previous wine upgrades.

There is also an irc channel for wine. It might be worth going there and finding out why wine breaks and then file a bug in archlinux and tell the maintainer what has changed in wine. There could be some new dependency etc.

Re: wine - I can't start it

It should be in your /var/cache/pacman/pkg unless you have configured your system to delete it or yourself deleted it or installed arch some days ago. Otherwise try to find it on Google and download it to your desktop or home directory and install it with the command.

pacman -U wine-0.35-1.pkg.tar.gz

Thanks for the link linfan!
And thank you Phraktured for the site as well.

Was having problems with wine 0.9-38-1 too. Downloaded the 0.9.36 version from here, and all is working fine again. I'll keep a hold of this old version, just in case a newer update is borked on my system too.

Now I can play FM2007 again

Re: wine - I can't start it

I also still have those problems. I think this is a problem with the wine version itself, not with the arch compilation of it.

I did not downgrade wine yet, since i still hope that a bug with a custom gdi object gets solved, for running plsqldev properly.
