Ok - i've compiled up 20021031
for kazaa lite 2.00 i get "you have uninstalled a part of Kazaa Lite 
that is needed to run. Kazaa lite will now quit so you can re-install it."
for 1.7.2 it almost works! the program launches and i see what looks 
like the kazaa i know and love. then shortly afterwards i get an 
unhandled exeption error and asks me do i want to start the debugger. 
either option stops it from working

here's the start of the errors:

fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Unknown directory 15 ignored
err:menu:MENU_ParseResource not a string item 0800
...
lots of the same
...
then a whole pile of stuff like this:
fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32769,0x00010026,-4,8)-stub!
...
fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub
fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32780,0x0003003f,-4,1)-stub!
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...
err:seh:start_debugger Couldn't start debugger ("") (2)
Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or another debugger

now the debugger worked fine from the rpm but doesn't work now. Would 
getting it working provide more useful information?

I can think of two possible reasons it wont work. One is that my system 
(mandrake 9) is a gcc3 system and there's some sort of funny system call 
or something *shrug*. The second is that i installed windows 98 as far 
as the first reboot and then stopped it. perhaps this is causing the 
problem? Unfortunately it wont boot here in work as it needs the via 
4in1 drivers for my motherboard. I'll bring the hard drive home this 
weekend and should be able to get it to boot at home (although there are 
complications with that too...) and finish the install process. I 
thought the install was all done and there was only configuration left.

I really appreciate the effort you've gone to to help me and i'm more 
than happy to try anything to get this working!

thanks

John
