Wine config difficulties

[Bill Medland]

Don't create a file there.  Wine itself will try to create it.  The question is "why did it fail".

Was the message preceded by "bind:"?

It sounds like something to do with BSD.

Have you tried it as someone other than root?

  I hope i am posting this to the right list.

  Specs:
  FreeBSD 4.x
  Wine 20011108 -- FreeBSD ports version
  Me == Newbie

  I am trying to configure wine manually because the package i recieved does not include winesetup.  I configured the drives to suit my setup and left the rest as the defaults.

  When i try to start wine with "wine program.exe" i get this error:
  "/root/.wine/wineserver-my_hostname/socket : no such file or directory"

  when i created a blank file at that location it returned "'/root/.wine/wineserver-my_hostname/socket' is not a socket"

  How do i make a socket in the correct location.

  Thanks in advance,
  Jeff Jeter
