Re: Installing wine on 6.0 RC
Many thanks Roland .. Great help. I will try your suggestions. I had installed the AMD 64 version of FreeBSD on my AMD64 CPU - I will try the i386 version.

Apart from the fact that wine only works on i386, you're confusing packages and ports. The command 'pkg_add wine' tells pkg-add to install a package from a file called 'wine' in the current directory. You can read the manual page for pkg_add with the command 'man pkg_add'. /usr/ports/emulators/wine is the ports directory you can use to build wine. To do so, do the following as root: cd /usr/ports/emulators/wine make make install clean On an amd64 machine, you'll get an error when running make, because wine is only for i386.

Sorry. > Many thanks. Saves me a lot of sweat. Are you aware that an amd 64 processor can run either the AMD64 or i386 versions of FreeBSD? Wine will run on the the later. It wasn't clear to me whether "on my AMD64 desktop" referred to the OS or the CPU. If you have installed the AMD64 version of the OS then I would advise you to consider replacing it with the I386 version, which has fewer rough edges. The actual problem you report will happen on *any* system: # pkg_add wine pkg_add: can't stat package file 'wine' The correct usage is either pkg_add -r wine#install a wine package from a server or something like: pkg_add wine-20050930.tbz #install this particular local file ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
