The configuration files in the rpm are the standard ones that come with
wine. I've only fixed the paths to afm-files. But AFAIK there were some
changes in configuration since the version SuSE provides.

It seems that newer wine versions don't look for config files in a
global directory (here: /etc/opt/wine) but only in your ~.wine
directory. So you should look at the files in /etc/opt/wine for changes
and apply them to your config files. Also have a look at "man
wine.conf".

For my latest rpm, you have to install CUPS. Seems wine has used
libcups.so.2 during compilation.

Bye,
