Problems Installing Wine
hi
plz help for installation wine in rhel5 actually i heared that through wine we can install microsoft product in linux .but i dont know whats the requirement for installing this .plz tell me where can i get wine for rhel 5 kernal=2.6.18-8.e15 and how to install wine and whats the preprocedure before installing this wine. |
Code:
yum install wine or read the wine page? http://www.winehq.org/ from the download page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AndreasBierfert/Wine and for rhel5 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL and have you called red hat support ? -- you ARE buying the security updates ? RIGHT ??? |
i have downloaded wine package from this site http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/...ne-1.2.tar.bz2
its showing error .i m very confusing which wine package should i download .

now facing this error when installing wine .
how to solve it configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built without X support, which probably isn't what you want. You will need to install development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least. Use the --without-x option if you really want this. |
@life008 - I have moved your post into it's own thread. 2 more things: John VV made a very reasonable suggestion in post #2, please follow that and report back. Secondly, the ./configure & make steps should be run as the user account and not as root.

yes got it ..................solved this issue
thanks to u all below is process installation of wine and error which i faced I m using rhel5 kernal 2.6.18-8.e15 with gnome x firstly download wine package from (http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/...ne-1.2.tar.bz2 this site) then extract it and then go into the win directorey cd /wine ./configure (when i run this command i faced three major issue one was x relate d issue, second was flex related issue and third issue was bison rpm problem) first issue ----solution --if error showing below like this then configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built without X support, which probably isn't what you want. You will need to install development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least. Use the --without-x option if you really want this. solution= means this x realated problem so solving this, run =yum -y install xorg* =yum -y install gnome* (if u have gnome x) =yum -y install gdm* Second issue—solution---if u install flex rpm from ur dvd or cd then it will show it old so download latest tar of flex http://sourceforge.net/projects/flex...ar.gz/download extract it cd flex ./configure Make Make install Third issue –solution—its simple Yum install bison Now go to the Cd /wine ./configure make depend make (it will take approx half hour) make install ( it will take approx 5 minute) then u ready to install Microsoft product then u ready to install Microsoft product |
I prefer this metod:
Install Mike A. Harris repository: Install newer wine from his repository: Code:
yum install wine |
Hi,
I followed the same steps to install wine on RHEL5. I am using x86_64 version of rhel5. But not able to install, please help, I got the following error, 32 bit X development package not found. How to get these package? -- Regards Ajay Malik |

If you really want to recompile, then Internet is full of howto's on installing X development packages (focus on "<packagename>.i686" or "<packagename>.i386" in yum commands), I do not have time to search for it instead of you. |
