Web search finds only how to set wine prefix. I want to put wine-gecko files in appropriate place. $ ls /usr/share/wine ls: cannot access '/usr/share/wine': No such file or directory According to the wine wiki page (see below) it means "you installed Wine in some $prefix rather than /usr,". I installed wine with something like apt-get install winehq-stable, how do I find out what prefix have it installed to? I've tried to use winetricks, but running winetricks settings list have not helped. https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko : > When your application tries to display a site, Wine loads and uses its > custom implementation of Gecko. Wine tries to find Gecko installation > in following order: > > - If Wine Gecko is already installed in the prefix, that installation will be used. > - Wine 5.0-rc1 and newer will try to load Gecko from UNIX-style installation without installing it into the prefix. It will look for - > wine-gecko-$(VERSION)-$(ARC) subdirectory of standard local lookup > (see bellow). > - Wine will try to find Wine Gecko MSI installer on local machine (see bellow).
