Hi, i had installed the wine-0.9.58 by wineinstall.Here is the result :

Installation complete for now. Good luck (this is still beta software).
If you have problems with WINE, please read the documentation first,
as many kinds of potential problems are explained there.
[cjzjm100@localhost wine-0.9.58]$ wine /media/F_drive/Thunder5.7.4.401.exe
bash: /usr/bin/wine: there is't that file or content
[cjzjm100@localhost wine-0.9.58]$ rpm -ql wine
package wine is not installed

what's the problem? Thanks! And my OS is FC6

'wineinstall' script compiles Wine and installs it "manually". It won't show in the list of the installed packages.
Try running 'hash -r' to tell bash to look for 'wine' again

Sounds like it isn't installed properly.

[cjzjm100@localhost wine-0.9.58]$ rpm -ql wine

Of course rpm doesn't know about wine -- you installed from source!

What Linux distro are you using? You should probably install
a prebuilt package rather than trying to build from source.
