[Wine] Re: wine hangs on first run

[Vincente Aggrippino]

Thanks to all who replied on this thread.

I've re-installed my OS and learned how to overcome my installation problems
and everything is working fine.

I've come to the conclusion that the problem was not related to either wine
or cups.

As I mentioned in one of the threads, it was a fresh install of FC5.  The
install didn't go smoothly and I was originally only able to get it to
complete if I selected only the base install.  I later installed the other
software that I wanted using Apt.

After posting my problems with wine, I discovered that I was having other
problems which were always related to connecting to a listening server.  I
was able to connect to the cups Web admin interface via Web browser, but a
process would hang when I tried to connect to the server another way.  Other
problems included the RedHat Graphical Boot not working and not being able
to connect to the freeciv game server (a very important problem ... LOL).

I don't see how the RHGB might've been related, but I believe that my
original installation probably left me with some corrupt libraries.
Specifically, I suspect that freeciv client, Firefox printing, and wine all
use the same library to connect to a listening server on a certain port and
that was corrupt.  I haven't verified this and I can't reproduce the
problems.  Everything's working now :)

Thanks,
    Vince
