Dear Holly, thanks for your suggestions! The reason why I installed wine-20041019 and not the latest release is that Winetools recommends wine-20041019 as 'highly preferred'. I couldn't find a ready made rpm of this version ... by the way, I'm running SuSE 9.1; the only version of xdialog I could find was for 9.0, but I read that it would work for 9.1 too. I did do 'make install' as root from within the wine-directory. Xdialog is listed in YaST as installed, but still winetools returns with: rpm -i winetools-2.1.1-jo.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: wine is needed by winetools-2.1.1-jo xdialog is needed by winetools-2.1.1-jo Thanks for your help, Peter --- Holly Bostick <motub@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Peter Wahl wrote: > > My good ness, > > > > now you must think I'm a complete newbie to the > Web.
