wine users - Feb 2009 - Error resolving dependencies when installing wine

I downloaded the Wine binary package from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5Server/x86_64/, which according to
wine documentation is compatible version to be installed in CentOS 5 server
distro. I downloaded all the files with version number 1.0.1-1 and stored it in
a folder named WineHQ in desktop. However, when I try to run
wine-1.0.1-1.el5.i386.rpm using software installer, i'm getting the
following error message.

Error resolving dependencies:
Unable to resolve dependencies for some packages selected for installation.

and then it went on listing missing dependencies such as wine-jack etc. but all
the dependencies are available in same folder. what is the problem? how to make
the wine to locate the dependencies from the same folder and complete the
installation? Am a newbie to linux, so please explain the steps to be followed
in a simple way.

Thanks,
Jam, India.

Have you tried installing the dependencies first?

It's not Wine giving you that message, it's your distro's package
manager. If you don't know how to use it, you need to consult your
distro's documentation or ask on their support forum.

when i try to install the dependencies first, I am getting same error. In which
order should I install it? Is there a manual for wine install instructions using
rpm?

This is clearly a problem with your package manager. You need to ask your
distro.

Are you using yum to install wine?  If not, try it.  Yum should resolve
the dependencies and download/install them in the correct order.  If it
is not, it is time to contact Fedora/CentOS support on their forums. 
Wine should install without problems once the dependencies are resolved.
