opensuse 12.1 kde 4.7 I recently upgraded to opensuse 12.1 and saw that the wine version was only 1.3.3 I wanted to upgrade to stable 1.4, so I followed the directions about adding the repository that would allow me to get wine 1.4. Code: http://www.winehq.org/>> clicked on Stable: 1.4[shortlog]>> http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.4 clicked on Binary packages for various distributions will be available from: http://www.winehq.org/download >> SUSE Linux Download SUSE packages >> http://en.opensuse.org/Wine#Repositories chose the proper repo and added it to my repositories. However, when I went into Yast2 after adding the repo, I only saw wine 1.5 available. Did I miss a step or choose the wrong repo? How can I change this. I would like 1.4 wine. I am running winmx3.54b4 and keep getting the> "Winmx has encountered a serious error and has to close"so I thought wine 1.4 may be more appropriate than version 1.5. thank you

Your choices are to contact the package maintainer, search the OBS to see if anyone else has built a 1.4 package. or build it yourself.> I am running winmx3.54b4 and keep getting the > > > "Winmx has encountered a serious error and has to close" > > so I thought wine 1.4 may be more appropriate than version 1.5.The AppDB rates it gold for 1.5.0, so it should work. Did you follow the instructions in the howto? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2844
yes I did follow the instructions in the how to. ty. Was not actually aware there was a HOW TO, but have been installing it that way forever. I notice all the testing has been done on Debian or derivative. So if winmx is gold on wine 1.5, how do I determine why I am getting that particular error? thank you for responding.
Dimesio I am certainly willing to give it a try but, I am not sure what you mean:> Try installing it to a 32 bit wineprefixAt the risk of sounding like a fool, Is there a page that has instructions to do this? And this:> After that, just install as you would normally, but specify the new wineprefixI am not sure I understand what I should install [perhaps WinMX ???][ or are you speaking of reinstalling wine? My apologies if I am a little dense seeming. I do appreciate your help. Thank you.
