Please run the above command to fix the problem.

hi there thanks for the advice first of all i ran the

sudo ln -s libXplugin.1.dylib /usr/lib/libXplugin.dylib

and tried to install my windows app via wine using the following command,

$ wine PacketTracer533_setup_no_tutorials.exe

and i got this back

-bash: wine: command not found

so obviously wine did not install correctly :-( so i can not install any of my windows apps ( i have already installed tested xcode and X11) but nothing launches i assume that x11 should launch when i executed that command but nothing :-(

You seem to not have installed wine.

[timski.sansom@…]

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

You seem to not have installed wine.

right i found out what the problem was /usr/lib/libXplugin.dylib was missing of my system so i used pacifist to put it back from os x 10.6.7 disk image i have, and tested x11 so that worked fine i am now trying wine again... that went in much better this time :-)

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Why did you use pacifist? Did you replace anything else? We gave you the explicit command that you needed to run to fix the problem. There was no need to use pacifist ;)

If you installed anything other than that one symbolic link, please grab the 10.6.8 Combo Update and install it to fix anything you may have clobbered.

[timski.sansom@…]

i ran the command and nothing changed i was still getting the error so i tried to launch X11 and it kept on failing, s i contacted apple and their advice was to either reinstall or copy the missing file from the os x disk with pacifist, after that x11 worked again so i am currently downloading and installing the combo i will restart and see if that fixes the issues i am getting

thanks for all your advice ;-)

What error? This one?

Error: Detected a problem with your development environment.  Please work around it by executing:
Error: sudo ln -s libXplugin.1.dylib /usr/lib/libXplugin.dylib

That command will clearly fix that error.

Did you mean this error?

-bash: wine: command not found

That's because you haven't installed wine yet.

so i tried to launch X11 and it kept on failing

This is the first time you've mentioned any problem about X11. What is the issue with launching X11?

so i contacted apple and their advice was to either reinstall or copy the missing file from the os x disk with pacifist

That's general advice, but I'm the maintainer of X11 at Apple, so you can probably trust my advise over anyone you talk to at AppleCare ;) If you have any X11 issues, I suggest you ask on the x11-users mailing list.

, after that x11 worked again so i am currently downloading and installing the combo i will restart and see if that fixes the issues i am getting

Sounds good. That should fix anything that may have been inadvertently downgraded when you used pacifist.

thanks for all your advice ;-)

[timski.sansom@…]

sorry i only noticed it when i tried to run the wine application, so i thought i wonder if x11 is working correctly and when i went to unities and ran that it kept on crashing on me possibly the issue in the first instance, hence why i have had to copy that file over and reinstall the 10.6.8 combo which i have now done. I have tested the app again and still its failing when i try to run it i did notice how ever that when i run the cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ Merl1n:Program Files Timski$ ls Cisco Packet Tracer 5.3.3 Internet Explorer Common Files Merl1n:Program Files Timski$ cd Cisco Packet Tracer 5.3.3 -bash: cd: Cisco: No such file or directory Merl1n:Program Files Timski$

i can't change directory but i ran the show all files command and i can see the .exe i need is in .wine/bin/PacketTracer.exe

i have posted to the mailing list and i am now awaiting post replies

;-)
