warning: wineserver not found!

Why?

 

[shkhln]

Is that an i386 machine?

 

[elimelech007]

yes

 

[shkhln]

We renamed wineserver to wineserver32 in the i386 package under assumption that nothing calls it directly. Looks like winetricks respects the WINESERVER environment variable, so set it to wineserver32.

 

[elimelech007]

And how to do it?

Solved - How do I set an environment variable in the FreeBSD shell?

This is probably a simple question but I am a bit confused about how to even find the answer. I am using FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE. I just need to set an environment variable called NNTPSERVER to the name of my ISP server. Suppose the server is called "news.someisp.com" I do not know what file to edit...

[elimelech007]

To be honest, I didn't understand at all. Can you explain what to write where for beginners?

 

[eternal_noob]

First, we need to know what shell you are using.
Please post the output of echo $SHELL.

 

[elimelech007]

root@A9t:/home/luba # echo $SHELL
/bin/csh

 

[eternal_noob]

Add this to .cshrc in your users home:

setenv WINESERVER wineserver32

Then log out and try again.

Edit: Oh, and don't run stuff as root unless absolutely necessary.

 

[elimelech007]

Did not help
it's still a mistake.

 

[eternal_noob]

Yes, because you ran the echo $SHELL command as root. I guess your normal user uses a different shell.

 

[elimelech007]

$  echo $SHELL
/bin/sh

 

[eternal_noob]

Yeah, then try
export WINESERVER=wineserver32 in .profile

 

[elimelech007]

And it didn't help.

 

[eternal_noob]

Does echo $WINESERVER output "wineserver32"?

 

[elimelech007]

$ echo $WINESERVER

This command produces nothing. Empty, although there is this: /usr/local/bin/winserver32

 

[eternal_noob]

This command produces nothing.

Then the export of the environment variable didn't work. Did you relog?

 

[elimelech007]

Yes, I have restarted​

 

[eternal_noob]

Please post the output of cat /home/luba/.profile.

[eternal_noob]

Ok, does it work if you replace export WINESERVER=wineserver32 with WINESERVER=wineserver32; export WINESERVER?

 

[elimelech007]

Did not help

 

[eternal_noob]

The echo $WINESERVER or starting sh winetricks corefonts?

 

[elimelech007]

And that and the other as it was and remains. No changes.
