Problem while installing Wine in Red hat 9.0

m.parthiban · 11-26-2005, 05:44 AM

Hi all,

I try to install Wine RPM in redhat 9.0 , but while installing it fails with dependency and it says

" glibc >= 2.3.2-27.9.7 is needed by wine-0.9.1-1rh9winehq"

I checked glibc is already installed are not using rpm -q glibc then i got installed information
as follows
glibc-2.3.2-11.9

What is the problem ? Please tell me how to install Wine and use it.

Thanks

The problem is that you need a newer version of glibc. You can probably find an RPM for it.

Another thing, how come you're using Red Hat 9? It's really old and unsupported now, you'd be wise to at least consider getting a newer distro!

upgrade to Fedora Core 4 (fedora.redhat.com)

Its better, faster, and newer

And fully supported

Best of all, ITS FREE!!!

Not sure where you can get an RPM for glibc for RH9, rpmfind.net doesn't have one for RH9 (the newest they have is the same as the one you're using). They do have newer versions, but for other distros and I don't know how the RPMs differ from distro to distro.

Sorry about that!

Try this site:
http://rpmfind.net
This site is a rpm search for linux.
Use glibc as keyword and choose a later version to download

FC has newer everything, solves many dependancy problems.

Other than that, i'm not sure what to do

Yes I agree with comptiger5000.
If you are familar with RH, you should try FC
