Wine and Gecko help

Hi, Im trying to install PKR poker on my Arch System via playonlinux.

PlayOnlinux tells me that he needs gecko to be able to render html pages inside the program I am going to install, BUT he also tells me that its better If I install the official gecko package for the distro im using.

According to this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

Arch is known to package gecko properly, but I cant find the package I need to install via pacman. Can you help me out?

thanks a lot

PS: Using Arch 64bit, a package from the AUR called wine_gecko couldnt install cause its 32bit only

Re: Wine and Gecko help

I already got that, but I dont know what to install, I suppose there would be something called "flash-gecko" or something like that but there isnt, also, I get lots of times (if not at all times) errors saying that md5 or sha1sum failed, so either packages are corrupted or something is wrong.

What I need for this app to run correctly is:

-Direct3D (Downloaded DirectX 9.0c from PlayOnLinux and installed in prefix but no luck).
-Flash for the rendered pages (running gecko html rendering engine at the moment)

At this time the app does open, but after I hit "play" it crashes giving me the following error:

Failed to initialise Direct3D device.

Please ensure that the drivers for your graphics card are up to date.

I tried editing the registry and creating a new string value called "DirectDrawRenderer" and set it to opengl but no luck

PlayOnLinux has a script for installing this (thats how I got it to at least open up) but seems there are a few kinks on it.

Thanks for the help
