Hi, I'm trying to install MS Office 2010/2013 which requires winbind. However on centOS there is no winbind package, only samba-winbind which I've installed:

 

[xxx@yyy zzz]$ yum list | grep "winbind"

sssd-winbind-idmap.x86_64                1.14.0-43.el7_3.11           updates 

 

At the beginning of the installation PlayOnLinux complains that it can't find winbind. Is there some trick to this? 

Error in main
Please install winbind before installing Microsoft Office 2013

Many thanks!

Hi, can you type "which winbind" in a terminal please?

[xxx@yyy ~]$ which winbind
/usr/bin/which: no winbind in (...)

Can't find it in /usr/bin/ or /bin/ either.

[sdoerr@loro ~]$ systemctl status winbind.service

Seems like the winbind service is installed and working though

 

There is also a winbindd executable in /usr/sbin/

No further ideas on this? (sorry for bumping, but I assume the solution might be easy considering the service is instealled)

Just ensure that you have winbind in your path and POL will detect it fine

I tried to "fake" the winbind executable:

ln -s /usr/sbin/winbindd winbind
export PATH=/home/myname/:$PATH
/usr/bin/playonlinux

Still doesn't detect it. Maybe because I'm not sudo? But I don't see the problem in that
