I believe they're here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

What they have for RHEL 5 is very old. If you want current Wine, you may have to build it from source.

Still need assistance

Post by bfpa40 »

Ive gone to that WebSite (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL ) and downloaded and attempted to install that version on the RedHat 64bit server we are using and it wont install. Still calls out dependencies.. At this point I am banging my head against the wall..

Install the dependencies. If that means downloading them on another computer and copying them over, that's what you will have to do. We can't download them for you.

Does this help any?:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/yum-downloadonly-plugin/

You can go to a Red Hat machine that does have Internet access, install the "downloadonly" yum plugin, and tell yum to download the dependencies to a folder on your thumb drive.

My hope is that, you can do something like "sudo yum-builddep --downloaddir=[path to folder on thumb drive] wine1.3". But I don't know if the plugin applies to yum-builddep, a separate program than yum.

Then you can install these rpm packages off your thumb drive and onto the computer you are trying to install WINE onto.

You could use the Wine dependency installer bash script as a guide if you have to: http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trun ... ne-deps.sh

If the script works with RHEL, you could edit the script, appending "--downloaddir=[path to thumb drive]" where needed.
