I would like one too. I keep getting this messge when I try and open a file called Poke.Exe:

root@localhost Poke]# wine -- Poke.exe
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D:
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /usr/local/lib/win/Poke; starting in windows directory.
wine: cannot find 'Poke.exe'
[root@localhost Poke]#

looks like metalhead730 needs to look at his config file, and thisisnotdave needs to tell us a more specific problem or just search google...there's a wealth of information out there: go seize the day.

The site is undergoing an update but the forums are still there.

wine: chdir to /root/.wine/wineserver-dhcp-28-14 : No such file or directory


does anyone know what the means?

i rpm -ihv winexxxx.rpm

is there something else i should have done?

1) Don't try and run wine as root.

2) Read the users guide at winehq.org

3) If you want an easy to use, GUI version of it, look into CrossOver from CodeWeavers.

A simple pointy-clicky more robust version of Wine is being worked on (0.9) but won't be out until late this year, assuming no slippage.
