Am running Centos5.2 64Bit, want to run windows application on it [x@linux10 ~]$ uname -a Linux 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 19:32:05 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [x@linux10 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final)
Which Wine version should i install? Should i go for rpm or tarball package? Which packages should be installed beside Wine?
Thanks

Hi THE MASTER (of what?) Does the windoze application you want to run actually run on Wine?? Check first, as there are many windoze apps that use undocumented short cuts to achieve their aims but thus cause problems for wine. If you are running CentOS it would first of all pay to get current - the version you quote is not! One of the big reasons for CentOS is that users want stability - thus use RPMs, any time you roll your own with tarballs you risk breaking some dependancy - and as always, you get to keep the pieces. I think CentOS and rpmforge do not have wine, epel does, however I find that the packages on this site are not always as robust as I like. YMMV. Do read the CentOS wiki and the many excellent howtos before proceeding.
Thanks

There are wine RPMs at http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/ -- but for some reason "yum list wine" is not finding it on the CentOS5 system to which I have access, even though rpmforge.repo is enabled. Curious.
I tried with yum install [root@linux10 ~]# yum install wine* Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.netcologne.de * updates: ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de * addons: mirror.netcologne.de * extras: mirror.netcologne.de Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments No package wine* available. Nothing to do
Thanks

You are on a 64bit CentOS ?

Ah, yes. That would explain it.

64bit wine is coming, but likely not very soon in the stable RPMforge repository though.

A couple of additional comments. I'm running CentOS 5.2 (32 bit), fully updated, so your 64 bit system will probably differ: (a) I installed Google's Picasa, which installs it's own version of WINE. Runs perfectly. YMMV, depending on what SW you want to run on WINE.
Regarding EPEL, I suggest you first have the Priorities plug in installed, which you should have installed already. When I installed the EPEL Repository, 2 or 3 weeks ago, I gave it a a very low priority. The number of Packages being protected, by the Priorities plug in, jumped from approximately 350 to approximately 1650, after I had EPEL installed. You can contemplate what might happen to your box, if you install the EPEL Repository, without giving it a very low priority.....
