Has anyone gotten winex to work on a Red Hat 9 box???? It was working fine with 8.0, but I keep getting "FIX-ME:pthread-cond-init" errors.

G, you're not alone... I tried loading up WINE and it blew up...
Oddly, in the packages for RH 9.0, there seems to be a bunch of WINE files... I can't seem to get 'em to where they'll install and run though...

WineX is not currently supporting RH9; due to changes in some of the libraries that come with the distribution....

Hey,
I was just wondering, since I have wine (not wineX) and it works on RH8 (which im on at the moment), will normal wine work on rh9?
I use wine for half life, but, its kinda slow, thats why I still have xp dual boot as well....
Will WINE work on RH9?

Nop, even the normal Wine dosn't work on Redhat 9, they're working on it.

Codeweavers should work, I've been using WineX (binary) on Red Hat 9 with little problems.winex3
POSIX threads are implemented different now so if you get the errors try
"winex -use-pthreads yes something.exe"
Here's the discription from the release notes...
Recent changes to glibc have been causing WineX problems for a number of
releases. Finally they've changed it in a way that we couldn't continue with
our historical implementation of threading. Thus we've decided to switch to
using POSIX Thread (or pthreads for short) library for our programs. It also
helps that the implementation of pthreads on Linux has gotten a major overhaul
and is now much more standard compliant (and less buggy). WineX 3.0 will
attempt to determine if your platform is suitable for using pthreads for
threading. Sometimes, however, the particular game may not work well with
pthreads or may exercise bugs in that pthread implementation. If this is the
case, you may find that using -use-pthreads no will make your application run.
However, please note that distributions such as Mandrake 9.1 and RedHat 9,
which use glibc version 2.3.1 + patches or later, MUST use pthreads for WineX
to even start.
RH9 must use pthreads to start

Release notes are a wonderful thing ;)

You can call them the beta testers of Linux :)

It seems as though they figured it out, as the RH9 rpm for winex3 works great now on my PC's. The point2play interface isn't as good though, so I pretty much go with command line/custom launchers for now. Maybe they'll get the P2P issues ironed out soon for RH9.

damn, i hate being in beta stuff. :D
did they set any kind of official date as to when wineX will be compatable?

The whole P2P app is tricky at best...Here's how you need to install it (and how it should be in the INSTALL docs!)
Install Winex binaries (RPM, DEB or TAR)
Install Point2Play
Start P2P as a user
Goto the Update, enter in your Transgaming member info and hit Update
NOW you can use the P2P interface to mount, install and play games...
...took me a week to figure that out!
(Currently testing with Gentoo using tar's, also worked with Red Hat 9 using RPMs)

Your P2P instructions are excellent, but I can tell you from experience the comand line approach is ( at least on one of my PC's) the better way to go. I routinely have P2P install failures that end up working great from the command line. In the Transgaming support forums there are a number of people with similar problems, and they're trying to fix it, so hopefully P2P will soon be patched up. It does seem like a RH9 issue, primarily.
