Installing wine on Suse 9.1, please help!

DarkHawke · 10-27-2004, 10:47 PM

I am trying to install Wine 20041019 on Suse 9.1 and I am running into trouble... I followed the instructions that it gives, and it is telling me

configure: error: No acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

I am a complete newb, so any suggestions that you have, please give me exact instructions too, so I may learn.

Thanks!

Why do you like to install wine from source? There should be a wine package for SuSE on the installation medium.

But if you really want to to this, you should install gcc and make (at least, but there are most probably more things you need).

DarkHawke,

What is it that you are trying to run / execute under Wine?

wine installs usually by default

in konsole or a terminal type the command 'wine'

suse 9.1 personal doesnt include gcc, kernel sources, etc..., you have to download all of that stuff additionaly. thats what i did, jus changed the installation source in yast to some of the directories in suse's ftp server

Are you sure? I think both kernel sources and gcc are available on my CDs. And I downloaded their ISOs from net.

To install wine:
1) It is installed by default. You may like to uninstall first.
2) install gcc, make
3) type ./configure
4) make
5) su
6) make install
7) now delete the .wine directory in your home
8) type wine

if you have the professional version of suse 9.1 yea you'll have gcc and all that stuff, but i downloaded the 9.1 personal iso and it doesnt include it. with all the extra downloading i did i pretty much have the professonal version now, including kde 3.3, apt-get, etc... Im still realatively new to linux but i love all this open-source stuff, before i entered the linux world the only open-source i knew was downloading cracked commercial apps and scavaging p2p networks for serial numbers and stuff lol

why delete the .wine directory?
just start wine and the config files will be automatically written.

the version of wine in Suse9.1 cds is not the latest, tats why its recommended to install the latest stable version.

Actually, the wine given in suse CD is old. And many a times the config files do not comply with the new wine package. This happened to me. And the simple solution is to delete /.wine/ . It may not happen. But I wanted to be on the safer side
