Right, checking on linuxpackages.net reveals that this version of wine
is meant for 2.6 kernels and the error occurs if you run with a 2.4
kernel. So you could upgrade to a 2.6 kernel or roll back wine far
enough to be 2.4 kernel compatible. I run 2.4 kernel so I have to make
this decision too.Not sure which way to go yet.

If you want to keep a 2.4 kernel try the 9.2.0 version of wine from
linuxpackages.net. This does work but has a bug with some dialog boxes
- leaves them blank. The workaround is to minimise then maximise them
and the content is restored.

Thanks for this - this sounds like a lot less rigamarole than changing
my kernel! :-)

My pleasure. There's a very friendly yahoo group for LTSpice - definitely
worth joining .

Oopps! Guess I spoke too soon - what exactly does "9.2.0 version" mean?
There's no Slack 9.2 link, and wine itself is only up to 0.9.33.

So, could you be any more specific?


I mean the 9.2.0 version of wine for slackware. Go to the download page for
wine page at sourceforge and scroll down to the slackware packages. The
last item listed is ' View older releases from the Slackware Packages
package »'. Click this link and again scroll down and you will find wine
version 9.2.0 listed. This is the one you want to download and install.

Hope that helps
