53338 2002-06-09 03:33:00 Hi,

I have recently installed Redhat Linux 7.2 on my computer and found that wine was already installed. I tryed to run it and it said

wineserver: chdir /home/ivan/.wine file or directory cannot be found (or something to that effect)

When i looked for /home/ivan/.wine it was not there.

How can I create (file? directory?) it?

Thanks,
Ivan Meredith

.wine used to store wine's settings and should be created for you.


I would reccomend you uninstall the redhat version and download the codeweavers version (www.codeweavers.com) which will be more recent and it is easier to setup.

I haven't found a whole lot that runs well under wine, although I did manage to get Half-Life going pretty well.

Code-Weavers setup may work better - haven't tried it myself yet.
