Fedora :: How To Install Wine - Directory Is Wrong
Apr 26, 2011
I'm new to fedora. I am using a core i3 desktop computer. I installed fedora 14 into my desktop and I Downloaded a wine 1.3.14.tar but I cannot install it. I tried tools/wineinstall in the terminal bu it say "Your directory is wrong".
When i was fixing some with Apache i set /tmp to chmod 777 and now when i try to open Wine it complains that the settings are wrong :PHow do i reset the chmod and chown settings on /tmp?
i want to copy a few files from my windows directory into the wine directory - its no big deal, just a few preference files so i dont have to set something up all over again. trouble is, i had the files copied, but i cant find the wine/ c: drive directory anywhere, anyone know where this can be found??
I came from the Debian world so I did not do much building software from source. I successfully built wine from source, now the wine binary is in the same directory where the Makefile and all of the other source stuff is. I can run wine from that directory fine, but I sort of want to move it somewhere else. I tried moving the wine binary somewhere else, but when I try to run it I get
[code]...
What all do I have to move into the new directory to get wine working in the new directory? By convention, where should I move wine, I want it available for all users, should I move it to /opt/wine, or /usr/local/wine, or somewhere else?
when I tried to install wine I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"so I looked for wine-gecko and download it but also when I tried to install it I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"it seems that I am in loop each package need the other what to do please?
Lot of questions about WINE... When I'm done I'm going to make a HOWTO so that others can do what I did It's hard work, but I'm nearly done.The last problem I'm having is the WINE menu on GNOME won't show up after a install of WINE from a .deb package (it usually does). This was after I compiled WINE from source and removed it with "make uninstall" and "rm -rf /.wine".So now I installed the WINE from a deb package and the Wine menu entry is not showing up.I've tried re-installing Wine and rebooting my PC but nothing seems to work.
For some reason, my Slackware 13.0 system has multiple problems. When I do ldd /usr/bin/X | grep libpixman I show a libpixman which is NOT in /usr/lib.
Fedora 13 (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686)"yum install wine" ends with an error message. If I understood correctly it complains about missing wine-common package "Requires: wine-common = 1.2.0-1.fc13".However, when trying to install wine-common "yum install wine-common" it says it is already installed "Package wine-common-1.2.0-1.fc13.noarch already installed and latest version".
I am trying to install IE. But after entering this command
Code:
I am getting this prompt
Code:
Your wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed. Maybe you are running an old Wine version. Try to update it to the latest version. After that now I found that I have installed code (Oxford dictionary with wine it was not working too.
I am building a BLFS (Beyond Linux from Scratch) system. I am using a Slackware style package management system. Currently I am trying to build xorg-server-1.1.1 but whn it come to finding libfreetype.so its looking in my build directory (/tmp/mybuild/pachage-freetype/usr/lib/) and not /usr/lib/. I checked /usu/lib/pkgconfig and found that my freetype2.pc (amongst others) file was pointing to my build dir so I fixed it (along with all the others). but when I try building again I gat the same error. I checked my $PATH and my $PKG_CONFIG_PATH and both are correct.
I have fedora 14 installed on my dell laptop and I am trying to install wine (wine-core). I downloaded it in rpm format but when in tried to install it I got a message that I needed to install two more packages (nss-mdsn and wine-common). I installed nss-mdsn but when I tried to install wine-common I got a message that I have to install wine core for it and when I tried to install wine-core. I got a message to install wine-common first and I tried to install both of them at the same time but still it didn't work. I cant install it online with yum because of a few other problems.
I've tried downloading the RPM file on their website, But I always get an unknown error message.how to do this? Like what commands should I Run, etc. I'm VERY new to linux, and every time I read a guide one command seems to be for one os, and the other command for another.
I recently installed Fedora 11 with VMware workstation. I downloaded the Wine file (wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2 and wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2.sign, its a source archive i think)from [URL]. Those two files are now in my flash disk. I went throught the wine user guide but they haven't explained about how to install it in detail, but i found that, "Compiling & installing Wine from source is slightly more difficult than using a package".
I went to [URL] looking for packages but again its saying, i should install some library's before building Wine and leads to [URL]. I went there & found a web page with some codes.
The newest version of wine 32-bit (1.1.32?) seems to be a disaster. I had Newsbin Pro working great in Fedora 10. Now this program won't run with wine.i686 on Fedora 12 x64.
I have tried Crossover Linux 8 standard and Newsbin Pro works with that. Crossover is using wine 1.1.18. However that will cost me $40.
How do I install an older version of wine with the dependencies in Fedora 12 x64? I searched for an rpm and found various flavors of wine rpms. Can I just install that older rpm?
I am currently using Ubuntu 10.10 and am wanting to switch to Fedora 14. I have always loved the way Fedora looked and felt. So I am finally making the transition. But I am wondering does Wine work well with Fedora 14? If so how do I install through the terminal. I know it is the harder way but I find it gives me more customization. I prefer it, so what would the command be? With Ubuntu it is sudo apt-get install wine1.2 what is it in Fedora?
I am new to fedora and installed wine to see if I could get the sony reader software working (required to access sony bookstore from my sony ereader). Well the program did not work though it did create icons on my desktop. wine kept crashing and I said lets just get rid of it. I uninstalled wine via yum remove and nothing appeared to happen so I did rpm -qa |grep wine and saw lots of stuff. So I simply did yum remove wine* and then a rpm -qa |grep wine was empty. however wine is still under applications on my desktop and still has a category for programs--reader. I should also mention that while wine was installed I attempted to remove the reader via the wine uninstalller but a) wine gave a message of a core crash and b) all the uninstaller did was give me the option to reinstall the reader program. so now when I attempt to open an epub it tries with the sony reader software. I know I can just right click to use another program but for now I want wine gone completely from my pc and the sony program gone.
I am running 64-bit Fedora 12, and am trying to install Diablo 1 through Wine. I installed wine from Yum, installed Diablo fine, but when I try to run it I get this message: wine: '/home/obriem5/.wine' is a 32-bit prefix, it cannot be used with wow64 Wine. On a side note, I tried installing Diablo using the guide given here, but received errors when trying to use the patch. (i.e, instead of seeing 'Hunk #1 succeeded', etc, I see 'Hunk #1 failed', etc.)
I do have a dual boot system vista and ubuntu but thought it would be nice if I didn't have to switch back and forth for some things. Since I all ready have windows installed with all the required files, directory, and registry is their any way ubuntu could pick those up for running windows programs. Instead of emulating them in wine. In theory I could install my programs under windows and run them under ubuntu if ubuntu recognized my windows partition as c drive instead of OS.
When I install wine the add/remove program wants to install both 86_64 and i686 files. I have the x86_64 version of Fedora 14. I am having problems with counterstrike and have installed it using Wine, have noted problems when both types of files are installed.
I would like to have Fedora set up just right but as with all Linux distros, am having trouble keeping my head above water with fc14. I have success up to a point and then want to go back to Windows for its simplicity. Just this wine problem

Im trying to install net-vi_2.2.1.tar.gz its my understanding that i need to navigate the Unix terminal directory to the either the tar.gz archive or extract the file to a folder and use that as the command directory for the terminal so my first question is how do i use that folder with the terminal? what command do i use?
After that i use the readme or install text file for the rest of the commands i need but im not sure cause ive never installed from tar.gz before
I am following instructions from [URL]... i've gotten to the point where it says
[code]...
No such file or directory. I hate installing from source for this exact reason, something always goes wrong. and i'm left scratching my head. But I really want this boot loader.
I've tried to install Wine but I get this error: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 400 :http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux...ata/repomd.xml Trying other mirror.Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: adobe-linux-i386. Please verify its path and try again Not sure what is happening here. Can anyone give me some idea and maybe a way to overcome it?
I downloaded a mouse theme form gnome look and installed it in the themes. But it has not appeared in the pointer themes section in custimation even though it said that it is installed correctly.When I drag the file to install it again it says something along the lines of it cannot copy a directory over a directory.Where can I find where the mouse/pointer theme is located and delete it. I have searched filesystem, google and these forums and not had any luck yet.
