Running "yum install wine" as root will get the last version that Fedora
maintainers consider to be the latest stable version. That's 1.1.23 for
Fedora 10. You must be root to use yum, but don't run WINE as root.

That works for me. If you want the latest version, check the Wiki for
how to download source, compile and install it.

The most simple way to get a working version of wine in Fedora 11 is to
use the package manager.

(no offense meant, giving complete instructions in case a newbie looks
for this later:)

From the main menu (clicking on the white F in the blue circle at the
bar on the top of your screen) select system --> administration -->
add/remove software.

When the add/remove software window opens up type "wine" (without the
quotes) in the search box and hit enter.

Check the boxes for the version i586 or i386, whichever is offered, or
"noarch" (do not check boxes for x86_64 even if your Linux is the 64 bit
version - 64 bit wine is not stable yet) of:

wine (at the time of this post the version will be 1.1.32-1.fc11 (i586)
wine-alsa

recheck to be sure neither of your choices are 64 bit versions, then hit
the "apply" button at the bottom right of the window. A box may come up
saying that more files need to be installed for the ones you chose to
work correctly, let it install those as well. When it is done
downloading and installing you will have wine on the system ready to
install whatever windows programs you want to try using through it.
