Hello Declan, I did read the README and compiled wine that way specified. I had no problem installing / compiling wine. I even installed it using "yum" as advised by you. But when I try to run any application using the wine binary it just waits and does nothing. And the strace of that process tells me that it is waiting for some signal or somthing of sorts. That is the problem I am looking a solution for.

To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated. You discover truth everytime you use it. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
