Wine just won't work! Baffled.

[Matthew Walton]

I just compiled and installed Wine 20010216 snapshot. Compiles fine, 
installs fine. I set up my configuration to use my Windows install, but 
when I try to run something, I get messages similar to this:

# wine notepad.exe
err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin 
shell32.dll: /usr/local/lib/librpcrt4.so: undefined symbol: dbch_ole
err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin 
kernel32.dll: /usr/local/lib/libkernel32.so: undefined symbol:

err:module:fixup_imports Module (file) KERNEL32.dll needed by 
C:\windows\system\msvcrt.dll not found
err:win32:PE_LoadLibraryExA can't load C:\windows\system\msvcrt.dll
err:module:fixup_imports Module (file) MSVCRT.DLL needed by 
C:\windows\system\shell32.dll not found
err:win32:PE_LoadLibraryExA can't load C:\windows\system\shell32.dll
err:module:fixup_imports Module (file) SHELL32.dll needed by 
C:\windows\notepad.exe not found

Any ideas what's going on? Can I fix it? Wine used to work fine but then 
I installed a new snapshot (I think it was 200012-something) and then it 
didn't work anymore. One thing that might have caused it is the 
transition to Windows Me, which probably occured between my last 
successful use of Wine and the installation of the first snapshot that 
didn't work. None this year have worked either.

I also tried running it in no-windows configuration, but it still didn't 
work. I can't get the error messages back now, but they were very 
similar to those above - only there were about half the number I think.

For informational purposes I'm running
Slackware 7.0
Kernel 2.4.0
egcs-2.91.66
XFree86-4.0.2

I'd tell you what version my C libraries are but I can't remember how 
it's done.

Come to think of it, the timing could have been when I changed to kernel 
2.4 test releases, or even when I upped to XFree4. Are any of these 
known to cause problems?

Thanks
