Hi,

I went and tried out the guide on
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install...arth_with_wine

but it does not seem to work :-/

Fist of all, I can't startup GoogleEarth by using the
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,usp10,msvcrt=n" wine
PATH_TO_GOOGLEEARTH/GoogleEarth.exe

as my PATH_TO_GOOGLEEARTH includes spaces, like in "Program Files". I get,
"file not found".

So, if I am in my console, in wine's GoogleEarthg folder, and run

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,usp10,msvcrt=n" wine GoogleEarth.exe

it starts, but shuts down again - or freezing up my entire system.....the
error being graphical. "Connection to 0:0 not..."

Anyone seen this before?.

Then use single or double quotes like always when working with spaces
in filenames or arguments:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,usp10,msvcrt=n" \
wine ".../Program Files/GoogleEarth.exe"

A full error message would be helpful.

Maybe your $DISPLAY is not set? Try

echo $DISPLAY

Are you perhaps logged into a box via ssh? Or is it just a terminal
window in KDE/Gnome/whatever? Do other graphical programs work, e.g.
xclock?

Yep...I've been trying to get one, but the entire system freezes up on me.
How can I extract errormessages?.

That gives me, as expected;

stig@tux ~ $ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

No...no ssh. Just me and my PC, with a terminal window in KDE. Everything
else works fine....I've got KDE running, uses MPlayer for DivX, and plays
OpenGL based games.....

Surely there is a way to extract errormessages and/or startup messages, from
a programme that crashes my entire machine?.

That would normally be a kernel core dump to swap. Of course, you need
tools to analyse this. This thread might help throwing some pointers
your way:
