Hi, Thanks to everyone who's helped on this one. Just to let you know this turned out to be end-user silliness by me. Vincent BÃron pointed me in the direction of checking installed glibc & RH kernel versions etc. It turns out that I had (twice!) downloaded the completely wrong RPMs. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. === SUMMARY OF TIPS for wine-users list === On my RH8 box I can check exactly what RPMs were installed (as is commonly the case with RH Linux and maybe others using RPMs) by either checking the nightly log of this information: - grep wine /var/log/rpmpkgs ...or by inspecting the current state of my machine (slower but more up-to-date) as follows: - rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' | grep wine Of course, these approaches work for checking glibc and other packages too, or use egrep 'wine|glibc' for searching multiples, and so on. Hope this helps. -- Best regards, James. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
