i used to run half life online with wine, but recently upgrading and reinstalling wine, it tells me that it is missing the wine socket!

how do i get wine to create the scoket for me?!

i did compile wine from cvs!!!!!!!!!

at least i think i did...

i cant find the /usr/bin/winex,
however the direcoty where the wine stuff resides seems to be /usr/local/bin

the contents are:


[code:1]
[seb@shadowfax bin]$ ls
fnt2bdf wine wineconsole.so winelauncher wineserver
function_grep.pl winebuild winedbg winelauncher~ wineshelllink
maj_demo wineclipsrv winedbg.so winemaker wmc
widl wineconsole winedump wine_relocated wrc
[/code:1]

where shadowfax is my hostname.
upon trying to edit wine, all i get is jumble, as it is not a text file which can be read by an editor. i tried editing other files, but the only one which seems to export anything is Winelauncher, with this present:

WINEBIN=/usr/local/bin
WINELIB=/usr/local/lib
WINESERVER=
WINELIBDLLS=/usr/local/lib

i noticed that wineserver i s empty, should i add something to it?
i also tried adding your code to the end of this section but it still did not work..

how can i try and fix it?

thanks heaps
Seb

ahh yes well it seems that i have found a temporary fix, i just have to run the wineserver command everytime i want to run wine...

funny that. now i have a new problem!!

surprise!
