Install wine

Post by b »

Hello

I am very new to linux. I have RHEL 5 installed.

How do I install wine?

I have the following on my root desktop:

wine-snapshot-1.1.5.20080928-1.1.i386.rpm
wine-snapshot-devel-1.1.5.20080928-1.1.i386.rpm
wine-1.1.5.tar.bz2

I do not see it in ADD / Remove programs

Please help.

I'm not sure, but I think a double click on one of those rpm files
will install Wine.

The easiest way to install Wine is through your distro's package manager. If you don't know how to use it, consult your distro's support channels.

If you really want to build from source, the instructions are here:
