The forum

Hi,

I've just installed PlayOnLinux, but when I try to run it I get an error. like this:



I'm using Fedora (9 I think)
The computer is dual booting windows and linux atm, but we're looking to move away from windows (but my brother wants to game, hence this)

No idea how stuff's missing as i installed via the fedora package...

Thanks in advance

I can't figure out how to edit but here's some extra info:

using KDE but not sure of version
It's the most current version of PlayOnLinux
and I do have wine but I'm not sure what version etc.

Cheers,

Hi,
what you should probably do is uninstall Playonlinux. add the playonlinux depository and reinstall it via your package manager, that way there will be no dependencies missing.
(I'm not saying it, GNU_Raziel is).
hope this will help.

I have the PlayOnLinux depository, and I did installed it via the package manager.

I'd try a re-install if I knew how to uninstall it! How do I do that?

Any other ideas?.

Well, I'm no expert but last time I uninstalled it, it was through the package manager...
Stuff remained though it was completely uninstalled.
I don't know about Fedora (sorry) but for ubuntu this command worked fine
sudo apt-get --purge remove wine playonlinux

edit, ok I've checked, it seems that

yum remove wine-* should work.

Last time I tried uninstalling it it was a real mess... check out the Fedora forum ... I just did there are loads of people with the same "want-to-bang-my-head-on-desk" problem.

good luck

ps: I did succesfully remove everything ... so it is possible.

You need to install the package who provide "ar" on Ubuntu/Debian it's in package binutils.
It's possible that I have forget this depends when I build the package, or the command has moved in an other package, because I build the rpm package on a fedora 7, and it seem to work on fedora 7.
