Hi, I have got a Dell Lattitude D520 with 1GB ram and have tried to get working WINE using the file working on my computer. However I have failed. I have 3 partitions, 1st Partition FAT32 of 40 GB used by DEll for recovery software and left blank for the rest.
Partition 2 : has WINDOWS XP loaded is also 40 GB.
Partition 3 & 4 is ext2 on which I loaded Ubuntu Daper Drake 6.06, but which is not running due to mbr problems.
When I try to load the file wine-0.9.28.dsl from my DSL-N linux running computer using mydsl-load wine-0.9.28.dsl and then I enter wine "program name " , I get funny messages (probably debuging information).
I cannot run the winecfg program too.
also it keeps saying
"wine: glibc >= 2.3 without NPTL or TLS is not a supported combination.
It will most likely crash. Please upgrade to a glibc with NPTL support."
can anyone help me to get my "WINE" running ?

The different versions of Wine in the repository were compiled on various versions of DSL, whichever was current at the time. I have gotten the message you described on other Linux's. This error started poping up in the wine-0.9.2* "series" and is due to not having the proper glibc library. Your best bet is to try an older version of wine (if available) or standard DSL.

Thanks for your reply, I think it is u only, who have prepared the dsl version of wine. the current version is 9.38 , couldn't u prepare the dsl of the new version ? Also the 9.28 was tried on a HD installed DSL Std. there too it did not work. Also I read the threads at WINE forum too, seems that even for the latest UBUNTU 7.04 the same problems crop up.Thanks . can I post the debug matter that crops up ? Also how do I acess drive d: ? the .wine directory containing msdos something only has c_drive no d_drive where my XP exists

Wine 9.28 works well on DSL3.3 (.unc version). The message"wine: glibc >= 2.3 without NPTL or TLS is not a supported combination.
It will most likely crash. Please upgrade to a glibc with NPTL support."
is normal & you can ignore it. In fact it's probably a good sign as it means it's basically working.
Try something simple first - notepad or similar so you can tell if it's the application or wine that's giving the problem.
drive_c is created with wineconfig - it's nothing to do with your drive c: or d: on other partitions.

lang: Thanks for your input. Its been awhile since I had messed with my DSL/Wine combo, and I didn't remember seeing that.Ankuryu: I will look into compiling the newest Wine. I will probably compile with OpenGL support. It might show a few errors if your not using OpenGL (nVidia drivers, etc.), but shouldn't hurt the basic functionality.

Thanks JB4X4, I look forward to, it. Also please tell me, can I use regular deb packages with DSL ? Do I have to use deb2dsl if I download the deb pkgs from the net ? Also If I want to compile any package , what are the lib and other programs necessary for me to compile from source, also what compiler do I use. I shall be glad if u give me this info.

You can load the mydsl extension dsl-dpkg (which needs to be slightly modified to be set up for DSL-N i think...) and then use dpkg -i file.debThe requirements depends on the program you want to compile. Typically you'll need gcc and make at a minimum.

Thanks Mr Hat, but I wonder, why we the Pendrives of higher capacity available, and at cheap rates, there is no demand for DSL-N, as also support for DSL-N. Well got to wait patiently, till the support grows. Thanks to all u guys, cause because of u, we venture ahead to try the unknown.

I thought I'd posted this before but maybe not...Since there are some issues with apt-get in DSL-N and since it is not clear that the extensions used to compile in DSL (gcc1, gcc1-with-libs, etc) will work as intended in DSL-N, I used Debian packages to set up a compile environment instead.
The number of packages to load evolved as different compiles complained of things missing, the symlinks might not now be needed at all and later packages may overwrite earlier packages, but it works for me.
So, in order to compile programs for DSL-N, first load gnu-utils from the DSL-N repository, then load dsl-dpkg from the DSL repository and finally download the debs listed (now Debian oldstable) on to your "Pendrives of higher capacity" and run the following script.

If this works, you are ready to compile.
