Recommended Posts

im trying to install wine in redhat 9.2 ...im following the direction in the wineHQ site but when i run it ..its giving this error

You're running this from the wrong directory.

Change to the Wine source's main directory and try again.

[root@xxxx root]# /wine/tools/wineinstall

WINE Installer v0.74

please help

RedHat 9.2??? Do you maybe mean Mandrake or something? RedHat stopped at 9.

My experience with trying wine in RedHat (and now I run Fedora) is that you are best served by installing the version of wine that is on the CD-ROMs! RedHat has a different way of doing some things, and they expect files to be in certain places.

Add the wine package(s) from the CD-ROMs by using the "Add/Remove Applications" program in your GNome/KDE "System Settings" menu. That will almost certainly work!

First off, to see if wine is installed, open a shell, and type the following:

rpm -qa | grep wine

It should search through all the rpm packages installed, and report out any containing "wine".

In my case, it reports

wine-0.20030508-1

This will see if you have wine already installed...

wine comes with MDK 9.2 standard...just type wine and it installs itself.

wine comes with RH & FC, too. Just Mandy installs it by default. With Fedora & RedHat you have to manually select it at time of install, or after the fact with Add/Remove Packages ("redhat-config-packages" at the shell prompt).

I use FC at home, but Mandy on my laptop at work. They both work very well. :)
