Wine problem.

Hey. I just got done compiling WINE 0.9.20 from source, and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm on a 2.4.x kernel, and I don't know if that might be the problem or not. When I run 'winecfg' I get an error that says

wine: creating configuration directory '/root/.wine'...
wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x60919103 (thread 000                                  9), starting debugger...

The same happens if I try to 'wine' an application. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!!

You are try to run "winecfg" as root.

Try it as a user.

The same thing happens, even if I'm running as my normal user.

NPTL issues
Later version of Wine does not support glibc 2.3 without kernel+glibc NPTL support. Slackware has NPTL support in glibc, but not in the 2.4 (default) kernel. To run Wine you'll need to upgrade to a 2.6 kernel.
