Wine on Arch 64

I cannot get wine working correctly on Arch 64. I am having problems getting some of the required packages that are lib32. I cant get them with pacman. Also I am thinking since wine doesnt have a 64 bit edition I should just go with 32 bit arch.

Re: Wine on Arch 64

The arch-games repo has bin32-wine, which should be a little easier to install.

wine itself and nvidia-utils
I get errors about free font or something when trying to run winecfg also when trying to run wine.

Re: Wine on Arch 64

wine wont even start up for me.

"Wine cannont find the FreeType font library."
the rest is "failed to load .so lib for " " wrong ELF class: ELFCLAS64

Re: Wine on Arch 64

Wrong ELF class errors mean that a program that's running is looking for a library from one architecture, finding the correct library by name, but it's for the wrong architecture. In this case, Wine is a 32 bit program that when it was compiled linked to a 32 bit version of libfreetype.so (probably libfreetype.so.6.3.20). When you're trying to run it, it's finding a library by that name, but the version that it's finding is 64 bit. What you need to install for this particular error is lib32-freetype2.

Re: Wine on Arch 64

search the wiki for 32-bit chroot.

32-bit libraries which "wine" depends on can be found on AUR. Though I got all of those from repositories.

Did you get  "wine" from AUR? A package from AUR contains a prepared list of dependencies so you should not normally conjecture which libraries you miss. I personally use "bin32-wine-suse" by ProfessorTomoe http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16531 so can speak only for it.

With rpmextract or rpmunpack (both in [extra]) or rpm (has to be built from AUR).

Re: Wine on Arch 64

I installed bin32-wine from the AUR. Beersmith's (homebrewing application) installer works great. But i get a windows error when i start it up. and I have ie4linux installed like they say is needed. Im not sure if its just wine not working good because it works on all my other linux systems

Its a Good Idea (tm) to post in a totally unrelated thread for support requests.
