Don't ask why but, I had to install the Wine-devel*.rpm file to get wine to work?? I noticed that it doesn't seem to install by default. So now, I can run (cough) windows media player and other stuff. I don't know why, but that seemed to get it to work ok for me..

Of course, I am just looking for assistance, not |complaining, really. I have never once gotten wine to work on |a RH box. In fact, of all the distros I have used, the only |on e on which I have had any success using wine was on |Matt Jezoreks Blue Linx (a caldera/redmond hybrid). On his |OS, I could surf into my doze partition in the file manager |and simply click on a windows .exe and run things. Somehow |Matt had configured wine to sipmly pick these things up and |run with them, or something. In fact, .exe files would show |with a wine icon in the file manager, as if indicating that |wine could run them. Needless to say, that doesn't work on my |RH box. I have tried over and over to run wine from the |command line, but also, with no success (likely a UTS bug). I |enter the path and command just as I perceive the man page is |directing me to do, but it never works. Sometimes, I know I |have path issues, because the doze partition has paths with |spaces (ie: /mnt/doze/Program Files/stupidwindowsprogram.exe |never works because of the space in Program Files) But even |.exes outside of Program Files, in folders without spaces, |don't work. Is there a way to configure wine to work as it did |in Blue Linux that a clueless newbie can configure without |reading 10 volumes of technical writing and sacrificing a goat |to the full moon? I hear of people running all kinds of things |with wine, and I can;t even run a little wordsearch maker |program. It's frustrating. | |Tony | | |http://www.School-Library.net |Read, Connect, Learn! ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
