wine.conf newbie problem +user32.dll

Mon Mar 19 12:14:07 CST 2001

I seem to have gotten past one hurdle and on to the next. It seems that the problem that
I was having relates to poorly documented changes in the config files in the HOWTO.

I now have /root/.wine/config which seems to solve the old drive problem. However, here
is my new error.

[root at pato .wine]# cp /etc/wine.conf ~/.winerc
cp: overwrite `/root/.winerc/wine.conf'? y
[root at pato .wine]# wine  -winver win31 -desktop 640x480 /win98/windows/sol.exe
Warning: configuration loaded by the server from '/root/.wine/config',
         file '/root/.winerc' was ignored.
err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin user32.dll: symbol
__sysconf, version GLIBC_2.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
Cannot load user32.dll

This could easily be due to bad configuration files as well. I tried looking for
user32.dll in the FAQ and found nothing.

Can anyone point me to more detailed resources for Wine configuration files and Wine
troubleshooting information?

Thanks in advance!
