Wine on Ubuntu with AMD64
First, go get the latest version of Wine (for i386). Ensure that you have the correct version (6.06 is Dapper).
Open up a terminal in the folder you saved it to:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture wine*.debNext, head to the Ubuntu repository and download both libXx86dga1 and libXx86vm1 (for i386). Extract them (don’t install!) and then extract the data.tar.gz files inside of them. Browse to the /usr/lib32 subfolder, then copy both the symlink and the shared library to your /lib32 folder (you’ll need to do this as root). Make sure you do this for both these packages.
I’m currently testing this with the IEs for Linux script, and everything seems to be working so far. IE6 runs perfectly (it may not show up correctly the first time you open it but it’s fine after that).
Thanks!
I got WoW running under 6.06 AMD64 using this guide and the info on help.ubuntu.com, just copied over from my Windows partition, then using ALSA as the sound driver and OpenGL rendering.
Hi,
Would you please provide a bit more detail on the steps involved? I am a little confused about the /usr/lib32 versus /lib32 steps. Perhaps it was a typo?
Thanks very much. I appreciate the help.

Hi Dave, sorry I made it a bit confusing.
When I said “browse to the /usr/lib32 subfolder”, I meant the subfolder of the i386 .debs, so you copy from the .deb’s ./usr/lib32 folder to your /lib32 folder. Hope this helps.
A good writeup. Not to sound cocky but linux has directories and not folders.
im new to linux, what are the commands to copy or move files from one directory to another using root and the terminal?
Phatty, not to sound cocky but Ubuntu uses Gnome, which refers to them as ‘Folders’ :p
What about Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) ??? It’s the same?
hi,
has anyone tried it on edgy eft?
Hi, i followed the above steps and got this message when using the command

Thank you! One step closer to a 100% Windows free life
Works for me on Ubuntu Edgy!
