I've been trying to get my head around what I need to do to be able to install and run wine on a FreeBSD 10.1-stable amd64 system without much success (or progress). I read and followed the some of the steps that I found here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/i386-Wine but didn't really understand what I was doing, and it didn't work, spewing this: Updating wine repository catalogue... pkg: http://distcache.FreeBSD.org/local-distfiles/dbn/repos/wine/FreeBSD:10:amd64/latest/meta.txz: Not Found pkg: repository wine has no meta file, using default settings pkg: http://distcache.FreeBSD.org/local-distfiles/dbn/repos/wine/FreeBSD:10:amd64/latest/packagesite.txz: Not Found pkg: Unable to update repository wine So, I guess my first question is: is what I'm trying to do make any sense? At this point I'm not sure if this is an exercise in futility or not. Does anybody have any tips or pointers on what I should be doing here? Is it possible to be able to install wine on an amd64 system, and will it be worth it? (I'd like to be able to play some 3D games on it). Thanks for any help in advance, Bob -- Bob Willcox | File cabinet: bob@immure.com | A four drawer, manually activated trash Austin, TX | compactor.
