i read on the boards that the newer versions of wine are finally supported under RH9. i thought to myself, sweet now i can use that awsome new distro and the windowz programs i need. unfortunatly after a fresh install and an imediate download of wine i get this lovely little error.

[root@localhost sporkit]#omg wtf?!

not fun at all. as you can see i tried both the 386 and 686. oh well is it just me or is this still a serious problem with the new distro?

i use wine under RH9, in fact i played counter strike with it about an hour ago. on the winehq page, on the left tehre is download binaries. from that page, hit up sourceforge, and you will find it.

why are you using the RH8 package?

heh, oops. well now it seems to be working great. :(

ok well now heres another great question thats probably pretty easy.

if i install a program from an .rpm how do i find its install path? like last time i tried to install wine it took forever to find where it was installing everything.

rpm -qf packagename

ought to do it, after it's installed. IIRC, -qf means "query installed files". The "packagename" would be, in this case, wine-20030911.

[jrbishop79]

you could also use 'whereis command or program name' ...

haha, glad you found the error. we all do things like that sometimes. have fun with that wine. what apps you planning to run?

[sporkit]

thanks for that command guys. ;)

Yeah, I've been pretty happy since switching to Codeweavers. StarCraft, Kazaa, and a bunch of other stuff runs pretty nice.
