Hi

I am a newbie,i am trying to install wine to my centos ,but am having these problems

configure: error: FreeType development files not found.
Fonts will not be built. Dialog text may be invisible or unaligned.
Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.

i tried install freetype but still the same error comes up
[blaze@localhost freetype-2.3.12]$ rpm -q freetype
freetype-2.2.1-21.el5_3
freetype-2.2.1-21.el5_3

Whats the problem here????

Thanks!

Those are not the development files. I don't know how CentOS names its packages, but most distros put "dev" or "devel" somewhere in the name of development packages.

Probably the same place you got the freetype package. If you can't find it, ask on your distro's support forum.

Code: Select all

sudo you install freetype-devel.i386

And so on for all the missing dependencies. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages for the list of them.

That really helped me out

i installed all the depedencies,but now another error pops out...
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libXext.so when searching for -lXext
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libXext.so when searching for -lXext
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
winegcc: gcc failed

Is this due to the incompatible version?if so where to get the right one?

the release i am using is 2.6.18-164.e15,
and my machine is x86_64

please excuse my ignorance...

Thanks!

You have the 64 bit development packages for libXext. You need the 32 bit ones for wine.

which wine shows what?

It might be possible that wine did not install because you did not run

Code: Select all


sudo make install

or the files were installed to directories not in your PATH.

Uhh... Did you build Wine after you configured? (I hope so. The
configure script told you to.)

And then after you built Wine did you remember to do:

make install

as root?
