Installing wine on Ubuntu 9.10 from source

I just upgraded my ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10. Before recompiling wine, we needed to install all the dependencies. I grabbed the newest dependencies installation script from http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh However, when I ran it, it stopped with an error: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libcupsys2-dev is a virtual package provided by: libcups2-dev 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package libcupsys2-dev has no installation candidate From the error message, the solution is clear, edit the script and replace libcupsys2-dev with libcups2-dev ... and we can enjoy the wine again now

Ubuntu 9.10 hamachi problem

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a fresh new computer for a client. For this particular computer I install hamachi. Unfortunately, when run it only displayed 'Killed' in console and then a crash report notification appeared on the notification panel. After some googling, it turned that this new ubuntu doesn't like UPX packed application and unfortunately hamachi for linux (version hamachi-lnx-0.9.9.9-20) is one of it. The solution is: Install upx uncompressor: $sudo apt-get install upx-ucl Unpack hamachi (assuming hamachi is installed in /usr/bin): $ sudo upx -d hamachi After that, hamachi ran fine. This solution is also applied for other UPX packed applications. Hopefully, Ubuntu fixes this upx packed application problem which will be the best solution.
