    I had the same issue on Gentoo.

    Two things to make sure:

    1. run "tv-setup checklibs" from inside the teamviewer folder, this checks if all required libraries are in place. On Gentoo, you have to manually install some 32bit versions.

    2. Teamviewer/Wine doesn't run with freetype > 2.8. If you have the current ~ version installed (2.8.1), it won't open the GUI. A downgrade will solve this.

     

    So this goes to the devs here: This is probably a wine issue. Can we expect a TV version which is compatible to a recent freetype lib?

    Cheers,
    Daniel

    Hi,

    I solved upgrading Wine to the 2.18 version with staging pathes.

     

    Thx a lot
