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. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
