Hi All,
I am basically a newbie to the linux world, and I am not sure on how to fix
this problem I am getting with Wine. Here is where I am currently:
I have 1.6GHZ P4 with 512 mb of ram with both Windows XP and Mandrake Linux
9.1 installed. I tried using the .rpm files to install wine, but that never
worked. So I decided to compile from source. I downloaded the most current
release (Wine-20031212.tar.gz) and installed it via the ./tools/wineinstall
command (I also told it to use the already installed XP partiton for its
files). I then tried to start notepad and it started great. However, if I
were to try the "Open" or "Save" menu items, I get this error message:
"Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x406fbc56.
Do you wish to debug it?"
And this is what is recorded in the terminal:
$ notepad
Could not stat /home/j/.wine/${HOME} (No such file or directory), ignoring
drive F:
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working
directory /home/j; starting in windows directory.
When you are running with a native NT directory specify
'Profile=<profiledirectory>' or disable loading of Windows
registry (LoadWindowsRegistryFiles=N)

And, this is what the perl ./winecheck command states:
$ perl ./winecheck
This script verifies the configuration of the whole Wine environment.
Note that this is an ALPHA version, and thus it doesn't catch all problems !
The results of the checks are printed on the right side:
OK - test passed without problems.
NOTICE - Not a problem but something for the user to be aware of.
SUSPICIOUS - potentially problematic. You might want to look into that.
BAD - This is a problem, and it leads to configuration score penalty.
CRITICAL - A critical problem which can easily lead to malfunction.
FAILED - This problem leads to Wine failure almost certainly.
The result will be printed as a percentage score indicating config
completeness.
------------------------- checking miscellaneous stuff
-------------------------
001. Checking for root user... OK.
--------------------------- checking Wine base files
---------------------------
002. Checking for file "wine"... OK.
003. Checking for correct .so lib config (please wait)... OK.
----------------------------- checking config file
-----------------------------
004. Checking config file access... OK.
>>>Checking drive C settings:
005. Checking Path option... FAILED
(/mnt/windows is not writable for you).
- ADVICE: If your user account is supposed to be able to access
it properly, use chmod as root to fix it ("man chmod"). If that doesn't
help, change mount options in case of VFAT ("umask" option).
006. Checking Type option... OK.
007. Checking Filesystem option... OK.
--> PROBLEM.
>>>Checking drive D settings:
008. Checking Path option... OK.
009. Checking Type option... OK.
010. Checking device /dev/cdrom... OK.
011. Checking Filesystem option... OK.
--> OK.
>>>Checking drive E settings:
012. Checking Path option... SUSPICIOUS
(directory /tmp/0191302305 is not accessible for you).
- ADVICE: If your user account is supposed to be able to access
it properly, use chmod as root to fix it ("man chmod"). If that doesn't
help, change mount options in case of VFAT ("umask" option).
013. Checking Type option... OK.
014. Checking Filesystem option... OK.
--> PROBLEM.
>>>Checking drive F settings:
015. Checking Path option... SUSPICIOUS
(${HOME} does not exist !).
- ADVICE: create this directory or point Path to a real directory.
016. Checking Type option... OK.
017. Checking Filesystem option... OK.
--> PROBLEM.
--------------------- checking system devices used by Wine
---------------------
018. Checking sound device /dev/dsp... OK.
019. Checking audio mixer device /dev/mixer... OK.
020. Checking MIDI sequencer device /dev/sequencer... OK.
----------------------- checking registry configuration
------------------------
021. Checking availability of winedefault.reg entries... CRITICAL (entry
"SHAREDMEMLOCATION" not found in system.reg registry file).
- ADVICE: file winedefault.reg, the most basic wine registry environment,
doesn't seem to have been applied using regedit.
022. Checking availability of windows registry entries... NOTICE (entry
"Default Taskbar" not found).
- ADVICE: A Windows registry does not seem to have been added to Wine as
this typical Windows registry entry does not exist in Wine's registry. A
complete original Windows registry entry set will *not* be available with a
no-windows install. Usually this will present no problem in running
applications although this can affect newer programs. Feel free to ignore
this message in case you do use a Windows registry, but have the
SaveOnlyUpdatedKeys config setting set to N..
22 tests. 2 suspicious, 0 bad, 1 critical, 1 failed.
Wine configuration correctness score: 12.62%
What should I do to fix these problems and get wine working properly?
Thanks,
J Silverman
