I initially encountered the problem while doing a test install of Photo Shop. Some applications such a PS require that certain memory areas be available. CXoffice hs a test routine for this in cxoffice/bin/cxmaptest. This routine will report if it can't map the area. Prelink with the standard arguments will map portions of libraries and routines into this area. Bypass in /etc/sysconfig/prelink set PRELINKING=no and run /sbin/prelink -u rm /etc/prelink.conf (Just to be sure) Better bypass in /etc/sysconfig/prelink set PRELINK_OPTS="-mR --no-exec-shield" run /sbin/prelink -u rm /etc/prelink.conf (Just to be sure) /etc/cron.daily/prelink Thanks to Jakub Jelinek <jakub@xxxxxxxxxx> On Thu, 13 Nov 2003, Mike wrote: > Robert Cavey wrote: > > > Is crossover/wine installed under any of the following listed below? > > > > If so, installing wine or crossover under /opt should keep the > > pre-linking from jackin' things up.
