Bug comments restored from Gmane.org: 
 
Missing wine related files in Mandrake 8.2 RPM distribution. Would not run "out of the 
box". Complained of missing lib.wine.so, lib.nt.so. 
Had to search Internet to find missing library files. 
After that, it could not successfully run a single Windows app, to conclusion. Kept on 
complaining to 
add 'WinMM' section to Wine config. file. 
I don't have the faintest clue what is needed to do this. 
There is no config file in /etc/wine/. Only registry files are there. If the registry files is 
the 
"config" file, then that should be clarified. 
There is a BLANK config file in /home/~user~/.wine. Wine will now not run because it 
is complaining 
about this blank 'config' file. 
 
Loose related wine lib.xxx files should be part of the package, and not spread out over 
the 
internet. 
Missing WinMM section in Wine config. file should be taken care of by the "experts". 
They know what has to be entered there. I surely don't! How well controlled is the 
bundling of the 
Wine package? Is it a loose arrangement? 
Did Mandrake miss the bandwagon? 
 
This is what makes 'newbies' give up, quit, and go back to Win**.

Hi onederer, 
  Wine project itself does not provide binary packages and does not control any 
Wine distributions, provided by anybody else, as stated on the download page: 
http://www.winehq.com/download/ 
 
In this particular you can contact Mandrake mailing lists or tech support for 
help about their packages. You can also contact wine-users <at> winehq.com mailing 
list for help. There are probably other people who run Wine on this particular 
distribution. 
 
Are you sure you removed all the old Wine files before installing the package? 
Here you can find instructions how to do total cleanup: 
http://www.winehq.org/fom-meta/cache/1.html 
Try to do this and reinstall the Wine rmp. 
 
If the binary package still does not work for you do again total cleanup and try 
to install it from source. Usually it is fairly simple. The README file with the 
source provides very good instructions how to do that and you can expect much 
more help from us as we are responsible for it.
