The /root/.bashrc permission denied is because it cant read that file - your not logged in as root (contrary to what the person below has written see the line [JoKeR@WhItEWidoW wine-20021125] - root access here only if you have applied the root hack to that user account in the passwd file - although this is not really recomended). Try logging in as root and installing wine - normally you have to be logged in as root to install anything anyway, as normally installs of programs need to write files to protected directories. Finally, you may have more luck download the latest rpm and installing that - under redhat 8.0 just double-click the downloaded rpm (even as a normal user) then type in the root password (if not logged in as root) and that will install it for you - much simpler!

You should generally log into a Linux system only as a user, and if you need root privledges for something, then "su -" in a terminal window to become root. Also, be sure to uninstall the Redhat version of wine, if that was installed. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
