Wine and Gecko (F14) Gecko issues!

[rebmobwins]

I am trying to install Diablo 2, so I installed Wine. So I put my Diablo install disc in the cd drive and open up terminal and type the follow...

cd /media/
cd 'Diablo II Disc 1'
wine installer.exe

Then Wine emulates the installer and it opens up. I click "Install Diablo II" that is when it doesn't proceed any further and a Wine popup opens saying:

Wine could not find the Gecko package which is needed for applications embedding HTML to work correctly. Wine can automatically download and install it for you.
Note: It is recommended to use your distribution's packages instead. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko for details.

I click install on that popup and the Diablo 2 EULA pops up with a blank white box and the agree is nulled out while at the same time a program error box opens up; Wine and the Diablo Installer then both crash.

How do I install Gecko on Fedora 14?!

Hoping someone can provide me with some useful information. I would really appreciate a good walkthrough! Thanks everyone.



Recently documented my problem a little better by adding these screenshots... please help!

Bump, added better documentation of my problem. A few screenshots. Anyone at all have any ideas? Would absolutely love to play D2 on Fedora, as I'm never going back to Windows...

Try installing it as non-root, wine need to install to your home directory , not roots

Tried installing as non root, everything went exactly as the screenshots I posted above. Erros about Gecko.

Try

su
yum install cabextract
curl http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-gecko.sh -o install-gecko.sh
chmod +x install-gecko.sh
./install-gecko.sh

By the way, I don't know if this is still an issue but when I was playing Diablo II in Wine a few years back it would also freeze on setup, but what was actually happening was a window had popped up behind a modal one so it was invisible. Pressing "Enter" after switching disks worked.

If you're having a similar problem where you can't click anything, try just pressing <Enter> a few times.

Thank you again, and for any times in the future Leigh! The accept button is now clickable and the the EULA showed up, no messages about Gecko anymore.

This is what I get in terminal...



I will keep this in mind as I continue the installation. Battle.net works on Fedora properly, correct? I just got to the part where you insert disc 2 and did so and clicked continue. The installer said it was missing one of the .mpq files?

Bump...


I think my problem has something to do with this... (this is from a tutorial on installing D2 on linux)

For running the multi-disk install, it helps to run the install using the drive letter and to not switch your shell to the cdrom's path. For example:
~/.wine/drive_c$ wine "D:\setup.exe" (where D: is the assigned letter of your CD drive).
If you run while having a current working directory of /mnt/cdrom, for example, then you will lock the drive and you won't be able to eject the disk.

My cd rom drive is now locking when it prompts me to insert disc 2.... forcing me to restart the computer. How do I go about preforming that... ^^ ?

This is what I'm getting in my terminal...
And yes, I'm pretty sure D is set for my cd rom drive in winecfg. I changed "setup.exe" to "installer.exe" because there is no setup.exe file, it's labled installer.exe.

[Zachery@rebhost ~]$ ~/.wine/drive_c$ wine "D:\installer.exe"
bash: /home/Zachery/.wine/drive_c$: No such file or directory
