I just recently downloaded the rpm for RH 9 from SourceForge and installed it as best I could find docs. After installation, I have no idea how to get anything to run inside the Wine environment. I looked over the docs on the website and then was trying different things, like: [chris@4ulord chris]$ wine [option] program name (like notepad.exe or whatever) but I can't seem to get anything but errors trying to run apps in wine. I checked the permissions on the .wine directory and all seemed OK there, but if someone can point me to some docs for all that, I'd really appreciate it. The docs I found talked more about troubleshooting a compiled install instead of from the rpm. Any help is greatly appreciated. Chris
Have a look at this page http://digilander.libero.it/winehqitalia It should help you to get programs working in wine, it has instructions on how to start windows programs with wine using KDE, so you don't need to use a shell. It's a always better to use rpms instead of source, if you don't have a good reason to compile the source yourself, so you can be sure that wine was compiled properly. Do remember that wine is alpha software, this means it isn't finished, and most windows programs don't yet work correctly with wine.
