wine/opengl/32 to 64 bit question

[andycon]

So this might be a stupid question. I just upgraded from FC8 (32-bit) to FC11 (64-bit). In doing so, I backed up my entire World of Warcraft folder so I could try to avoid having to download and install it all over again. However, I've now reinstalled wine (64-bit now), and the nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repos (also 64-bit), and when I try to start WoW, it says it cannot load OpenGL. I'm wondering if anyone knows what's up, and if there's a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling WoW. Thanks!

Install the 32bit compatibility nvidia libs.

Guessing that you have already confirmed the nvidia drivers are loading try installing xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i386
No idea if it will work but that helps when Google Earth gives a similar error.

Edit - seems Leigh beat me to it!

Thanks for the quick response. Just to clarify, do you mean the 32-bit nvidia drivers themselves, or are there specific compatibility ones that let me run 32-bit programs with 64-bit drivers?

Thanks again.

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586 provides the 32 bit libs needed ( Nvidia calls them compatibility libs )

su
yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586

[root@localhost Mon Oct 19 10:50:15 leigh]# rpm -qa |grep nvidia
akmod-nvidia-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.32-0.33.rc5.git1.fc13.x86_64-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.40-1.fc12.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.4-83.fc12.x86_64-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64

That did the trick. Thank you kindly!

Adding some followups to the thread.
I'm using F11 -64 with wine-32 and nvidia propritary drivers.

Installing xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586 as Leigh suggested made a lot of applications wake up in wine.
mesa-32 is also installed.

Is there anything more that can be missing in the 32-> 64 compatibility?

I'm specifically trying with the game Spore because it was listed "Platinum" in wine's application database and I still wont get it to install.

My error message at concole is: wine SPORESetup.exe
err:seh:raise_exception Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable to dispatch exception.

Thanks

I have spore running in FC10

I added these dll's: Pidgen.dll, mfc42.dll, msvcp60.dll, mfc40.dll, unzip32.dll, scrrun.dll, compobj.dll.

I added this line to the registry:
Go to HKCU->Software->wine->appdefaults->SporeApp.exe
add new key Direct3D
in Direct3D add string: PixelShaderMode enabled
I used the opengl switch when I launch the program.

I didnot install direct x, I also had to click on the view hidden files in order to get the game installed.
